And the rain came

George called about 11:00 which is 7:00 their time. George said it rained last night and must have put out the rain because the sky was clear and they didn't smell smoke. I think they have their runway finished. We are all waiting to hear about the gold and we forget that runway is their lifeline. So they have been working on it everyday since they got there. They did get their dredge and supplies to the river and scooped 1 shovel to test. George said it was a good show of gold so of course they are excited. George said they saw a couple bears and have seen a lot of bear tracks all over. He thought the bears must go through close to their site to get to the river.
