Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Yesterday, Frank and I headed up to the mountains. This is my feeble attempt at a map, it's not to scale and the mountains look really childlike compared to the real thing... but it's just a map. I'll have to practice more...
I am a weather fanatic, I usually always watch the weather! Well, this time I didn't and we were planning on heading to the mountains to go panning.... Needless to say, in the future I will always watch the weather... We got up to cloudy skies and threats of rain but headed out anyway. I love to go panning. No, I've never found a big nugget, or even a small one. A microscopic one yes... I don't pan to get rich, I just enjoy the hunt, and it's good exercise. The hiking and lifting rock, try it sometime... Anyway I got in a few hours of panning before it started to sprinkle. We decided we'd better pack it in, and we did just in time. As soon as we got on the highway it started pouring!!! And it poured for the entire 2 1/2 hour drive back to the Springs!!! But we had fun and it was so nice to get out of the city!!!! You get so caught up in the routine, it's so nice to break it! We'll have to head up to the mountains more often!

I've been goldpanning a time or two here in Alaska. It is fun and good exercise. I've gotten some little tiny grains of gold, but no nuggets either! Just being outdoors if what's worth it!
