July 2, 2014   Bow Tie; The Friendly Bear

 

George is good about calling around 1:00 in the afternoon.  The calls are quick and just enough information to keep everyone informed.  He said they have a friendly bear hanging around their camp and it has just enough of a white patch to look like a bow tie, sooo…. They named him Bow Tie.  Makes you wonder if it were a fluffy bear would they have named it Fluffy?  The bear likes their fire pit where they burn their trash.  So far they don’t seem too worried about Bow Tie. 

They are still testing at their site.  He said they drilled 4’ and go color all the way down.  I keep asking about the metal detecting for all the metal detectors following, but they haven’t done much.  They are on a mission with their core drill.  Their plan for tomorrow is to check out some quartz outcropping south and west of the cabin.  Where there’s quartz, there’s gold.  This place is about 1 ½ miles away.  George and Dave are plotting where the gold is and then the next step will be to get the bigger equipment in.  They were supposed to have had something brought in this last winter but it didn’t happen.  Dave said this is better anyway because now they will know what kind of equipment they need. 

Sounds like they are going to have a good 4^th of July.  The name of their creek is 4^th of July Creek by the way.  Their pilot, Barney, is going to come and get them and take them to his village of 26 people and they are going to celebrate with them.  I hope they get good pictures. 

Barney brought them some propane today alone with some caribou meat.  George cheerfully announced they were having caribou tonight.  Can’t wait to see how the guys fix this.  George is not good at BQ and I don’t think Dave cooks.  I can picture them both staring at it and asking each other how they should cook it.
