So the days are still passing. Not much excitement my way. Just enjoying the life.. A lot of people just don't get it!! I mean what small scale prospecting means to me and some others. It's an Lifestyle. We take a lot of pride in our independence. We have no bosses no set hours no co workers to complain about. Their is truly a real freedom in being independent. Anyway I suppose some people misconstrue my thoughts on Recreational mining. And no doubt I can present myself poorly at times. oh well.. Anyway I and others find it hard to believe that the Lawyers of these clubs are working for the Small scale miners interests. Lots of people every year wish to make a change in their life and take of the Small scale mining lifestyle and the simple truth is the clubs have turned an actual job in to a recreational past time. No doubt it is a whole lot more profitable and consistant and hella easyier for these clubs to "Dude Ranch" out their mining claims then work them themselves! Their are a lot of different ways one can get gold but no compare to the lifestyle of the small scale prospector. I guess I could go operate some heavy machinery and work on a gold claim... OH the HORROR I would have a boss a set schedule...Probaley an hourly wage too.. I would no longer be self sufficient independent.. The differences between Small Scale mining and Recreational mining and Larger mining companies is considerable. Anyway I have been reading some good threads on here in regards to mining law an no doubt the information is invaluable but on the other hand I often wonder what good are these Laws?The majority of us don't have the time, resources or money to hassle with the blatent disregard our own Government of our own Laws. And unfortunately the same people who are supposedly fighting the good fight are no doubt making a good wage doing it. It is Funny but even these Non Profit Organization seem to be doing well. Anyway
My trip to Alaska is still a go but the time has changed and the nature of the trip as well.. We plan on going this winter and just for the sights Gold will not be an priority more the nature and awesomeness of the area.. The reason for this is mainly that California is going to be the place to be this year. The drought is a blessing and I must make use of it. Also I couldn't stomach the idea of paying someone to work their claim. This year will be great. Anyway I am headed back out this evening for a few days or so. I wish I was able to Keep all my gold but bills must be paid.. Anyway I hope everyone is getting some good gold and having an awesome year.......
