It looks like it's getting a little chilly up there Ray!
I'd like to add, I always enjoy reading your posts Ray. Sharing your wisdom, attitude and your in-depth knowledge of prospecting, MD and of the of area! Very enlightening and refreshing! Every canyon and creek area up there is layered in history and… hidden by time.
I have been picking around up in your neck of the woods a few times this year. Staying in the Motel in Lewiston and branching out from there in a few directions ~ spending some time up in back of the Washington Mine & French Gulch area and also way out behind the USFS HeliAttack Base ~ Normally I am usually searching out old claims with my GPS and studying the old USGS Surveys, looking around for old tailings piles mineralized out-cropping etc… looking for raw ore samples and interesting minerals. Been finding a little silver and a little gold back there along with a lot of lead and brass. I still have a list of spots on my list from when I lived up there in the late seventies that I'd like to revisit again with new gear.
Maybe next I am up there we can hook up and have a beer…
