    Guys, this new history show isn’t half bad, you know !! In all seriousness, there’s something magical about starting the morning with a warm cuppa joe and some Chrome videos. It’s like a cozy little ritual that sparks inspiration and fills the day with curiosity and wonder. Here’s to the simple joys that make mornings brighter !!

    Noting your new found- or refound - excitement, I’m starting to think what may have been missing for you lately is surprise. You are so energized- I think because you hadn’t expected it - or sought it out - or wanted it. Surprise. But to find it you just have to just cast yourself out there. Takes many risks to find surprise. This is the old Chrome I remember. 😊

    Hey, thanks for visiting and exploring Canada’s jewel…Dawson City! I’m from a very small town in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains with gravel streets and no stop lights. So just wanted to share my observation from this video…I didn’t see 1 stop light in Dawson City. What a place. Hope you continue to feel the magic.

    Hey, just had an idea for keeping the rig cool and the batteries charging... get a large pop up canopy and attach the solar panels to the roof of that somehow... I use a canopy over my suv when I go camping and it keeps the vehicle cool, just need some solar panels for the top, and I'll be set.

    Just so you know gold pans do not have handles. The ones with the handles are called cold handle skillets. They were used by cowboys in the old west and probably taken up north because they are light weight.

    They use dredges to make harbours deeper so big boats and ships can get into the harbours and rivers to the cities as well, and they cause huge destruction to the river and ocean beds. Using them for mining for metals is just one of their uses
