EUREKA!!! Gold baby! Yes we did find some gold, but we had some funny experiences trying to get it.
Mark and I decided to go across the river to pan, so we got into our little raft and floated across. Now in the processes I had to jump out and pull. The water was so cold and I couldn't feel my legs so when we got to land my Brother stayed while I went to get the rest of the equipment. Then we found it!!! So we needed to get back across to sort rock from gold. Getting across is a challenge just for one person. So we had to go down the waterfalls to fling us back to the other side we kicked and kicked . We barely reached but we made it.Now don't tell people we don't want the gold rush of 2015!
Well that was one exciting panning for gold story! I'm glad you and Mark made it back and forth across the river! Your own little raft? Sounds like a good time to me! Bet you enjoyed all those big sequoias too! Well sleep tight and I'll look for some more trip stories tomorrow. This blog is fun! Love you- Granny
