Gold Mining
New Toys
We have some new toys. Last dredge season we could go no deeper with the chest wader get up and I refuse to go in the water again with just my long underwear. This put in motion a series of scrounging events. Greg scored a small B&S motor in a South Dakota estate sale, the local vet set me up with an old dry suit, and a softball buddy was looking to sell a regulator. The rest we purchased. A four day weekend in March allowed us to try it out on a local river. It did very well and I am excited.
We leave for the claim this summer on June 05. I will get home at the end of June while Greg and Joe will stay on for another week. Greg has a couple of friends that will be stopping in at the claim for visits over the course of the month.
