    Nice Jeff. The second stop with the fire ring looks like a cool spot to camp and prospect. Did you guys do any sampling in the creek?? Shovel and pan, not detector swinging for gold?
    We will probably see more people buying up claims as the price of gold skyrockets to new historical highs.
    Good gold hunting!
    Take care.

    Hi Jeff, you got rid of the beard. The lead king rides again. Just a suggestion. Have you considered getting a "Hammer Cinch" (my terminolgy) for your holster? Your hog leg doesn't have a long hammer but if you catch it with your elbow, it could be bad. Or leave it on an empty chamber. Im sorry, I am just overly cautious. Take care my friend and enjoy your day.
