      Saturday Bob is semi-retired it seems, rarely see him anymore. I know a Disney Dave, and a Snake boots Dave who works on Disney lighting, Kevin bought a cabin in Big ass Bear a few years back and rarely if ever steps foot in the canyon. Backpacker Dave left shop, burned all the stuff he used back there and sold his nugget with a chain he had made from smaller nuggets and flakes he found over the years. The nugget was shaped like an egg and has a piece of quarts sticking out of it, so they said it would never be melted. Worth more in the natural form. He had the nugget hanging from the chain and word on the trail is he got $97,000 plus. He was seen pan handling Venice beach a couple years later. No news since. Burnie, the mayor of nugget alley used to buy the guys gold and turn around and sell it for a bit more to someone in the city. He got caught growing at his house before it was legal and selling mass quantity. the old hoosegow for him. I made it to the Dollar with Eric, before he died. He had problems swallowing on that trip and it got worse the next day. The day we came out he went to the e.r. and they told him it was stage 3 cancer, throat stomach and intestine. He went fast, R.I.P. brother! I have the head of the sheep from the annex in my dad's garage. I found it, or another, a few hundred feet above the mine on an old trail that once led to the canyon between iron and rattle snake. It was the ONLY way into it and its long gone. I have tried from all directions to get into it, you see, I have figured out the Sedley peck clues and not too far from there, believe I have located the mine he speaks of that the Tongva waved him away from. If it holds the gold, he said it did, it might be my greatest find of my life! If so, I may have to ask ol slim for some help hauling out the goods! I have met thousands of people over the last 42 plus years in the range and have seen and done things few will believe but there has almost always been someone with me to see it happen. One day, you and I will walk together. cheers my friend

      I remember back in 7rth grade, 1978, it rained for 2 weeks straight, that year boogie boards hit the market and a kid named dan Patterson had one, he got in a storm drain and was hauling ass town the cement v pattern wash. A drafting teacher named sellway, ran ahead of him and hoped the fence and grabbed his ass, right before he would have shot down a tunnel, That went under the street. He saved that kids life! But the rin on the city street was over flowing the curbs in some place. We kids stood along side the road waving on coming trucks to hit the puddle and send a tiddle wave over us. So much fun!
