Kai....you're still kicking!!! Long time, no read

....
It's been a busy year for me...and not in a good way. Good at home but my parents health issues kept me running all winter and early summer, then came work and filling in for people on vacations plus more parent health stuff

..... Sal and I have only been out twice in 2016 and my dredge hasn't seen the light of day yet this season

...... and all the above things aint looking any better for the near future
We did prospect a good spot to dredge if we get a chance, but we'll have to wait and see if we get that chance
I'm hoping/thinking.....maybe...... next year

and I'm also looking into buying an Idaho claim. At least I'd have a camp spot for me and friends and a place to dream about for a 1-2 week vacation each summer then a retirement job in 8 years

.....and believe me, I'll try it out before I put down any money

!!!!!!!!!!! plus there's all the public areas to explore
BTW please pm me how things have added up for you up north.
