    Reading back looking at pictures here is making me miss the wide open road.

    We did a cleanup today. The soaked through to your underwear slapping mosquitoes with shovels kinda stuff that gold rush never shows. IMG_20250706_162510640_HDR.jpg

    The mine inspector isn't too impressed

    1,800 ish yards of pay ends up in a dozen 5 gal buckets cleaning out the big box. Run that through a "cleanup" sluice cuts it down to a couple gallons of concentrate. IMG_20250706_164646401.jpg
    Run that through a spiral gold wheel gets it 50-50 gold and black sand.

    Cut the magnetic portion of black sand off with a magnet and carefully pan er down. IMG_20250706_190010918.jpg

    Or drink cause yer pissed... IMG_20250706_212659877.jpg

    So we're stopping at ports of entry now?

    Seriously though. I have pre pass but even when it's a red light I just sail on by. I figure if I ever get stopped for it I'll just claim someone wouldn't let me over and bypassing was the safer option.

    Yeah that’s my line. I’m actually bad about grabbing the left lane and let traffic pile up on my right. Then about 100 yards before the scale I turn the blinker on and cruise right on by.

    I know, I’m probably selling it too hard.

    I wear light gray shirts pretty much religiously. Truck has black seatbelts, but so are my suspenders so maybe they think I’m over secured lol….
