.......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.

Fun is priceless!

I do save every single receipt associated with the costs for my prospecting and treasure hunting. One day if I find something like that and have to sell it for some reason or another I want a 100X cost basis available! ;-)
