1983 ~ The Gold Mining Years

Beginning another season
Wednesday, June 22, 1983

It felt like re-visiting an old friend. The familiar clearing, our old camp site with the stove stand just as we left it. The creek looked as if we had just finished dredging yesterday.

Monday was full of errands and shopping. Our friend, Ron, helped us put new rings in our 5 hp. and we had a nice bbq that everning. Tuesday was for heading to the mountains. A Burger King breakfast fortified us for the journey. Snow still blocks the main road up here so we were forced to come in the back way. IT was a scenic drive and we spotted a white-headed woodpecker. OUr first trial on the creek netted us 1/2 pwt. and 5 trout for supper. A pretty good day, I would say.
