.......Fun is good.......
On my way to the Alaska gold fields in ‘07, I broke my leg in Cheynne Wyoming. I went on to Alaska and bought panning stuff in Fairbanks. I just couldn’t do it. The creek banks were too much for me in my “boot”.
By the time I got to the Klondike, the boot was off and I got to go panning about a half mile up the creek from where the first discovery was made by George Camack. About an hour of the fun was all my poor ol’ leg would stand......... no gold.
I guess another will trip will be required to get my money’s worth out of the pan and screen. It is fun just thinking about it.
My pan (used decades ago in CO and CA) has long been a cactus garden. It’s a lot like fishing; you have to go where the fish are.
