Their Exhausting hike looking for the quartz outcropping

July 3, 2014 

 I am shocked and jealous.  They said their caribou was delicious and George cooked.  I am shocked they were able to figure out how to cook the caribou and jealous George cooked for Dave.  They didn’t have any flour but they crushed some crackers and breaded the steaks and fried them.   

 

 

The guys went hiking about 8 miles looking for the quartz outcropping.  They made it to the top of the mountain and were exhausted.  George walked to the edge of the mountain and looked down to see if he could see it.  He was cautious not to get too close because it was so steep and there was nothing to hang on to.  They found a big valley that looked like the side of the mountain had slid down.  They found gravel deposits in the slide in the creek which is where the gold is found.  They have 1,440 acres to explore so they haven’t come close to knowing exactly what they have.  Their test in their immediate area tested well.  Their plan now is to get a dozer up there.  They need to do some clearing and get the overburden removed.  Yes folks, there’s gold in them thar hills.  So I guess the boys will start shopping for a dozer.
