Diary of a Gold Prospector

The spirit of the California gold rush permeates the early years of the American West. The river canyons literally echo with the cries of the 49ers, the crazily wonderful body of men and women who rushed to California to make their fortune. Evidence of their efforts abound. One cannot help but get caught up in a feverish energy that pervades your spirit. I am going to share my gold prospecting adventures with the hopes of inspiring a few readers to become "The New Gold Prospector"!

Tofte Ranch

Larry: Thank goodness it is cooler this AM. It has really been HOT! the last few days. A cool morning on the porch with coffee. Breath in, breath out, life is good.

Charlotte: Monday morning on the ranch. We are going to work around here this week with a couple of day trips to the river. It is 10 degrees cooler this morning. I am sitting here this morning rehearsing the future.
