Get ready for pics to come from an EPIC outing!!!! There were no CP Annual Members that took me up on the offer and that's a shame, this was an incredible outing. This will now officially be an annual event, so maybe next year.
LT Members Brandon, Erin, Mike and Mike - this was by far one of the funnest times I have ever had in my life. I'm very blessed and lucky to have spent the last 4-5 days with you, how the hell did I get this lucky?! I cannot even imagine better people to have camped and mined with, we were the ultimate team! .... and the FOOD! Oh my God. Besides the awesome mining and camping we did, I so much appreciate the help you gave me with mine tasks. The tree felling and dam improvements are especially appreciated in that regard. Yes, I know... when a claim owner says "hey, can you help me with this one thing, it'll only take about 20 minutes." Sucker! Awesome teamwork, camping, mining, and friendship. You guys are TRULY THE BEST!! Did we happen to hit bedrock? Check - 'My Mining Update' in the Protected Forum. Many pics (and maybe a vid or two) to come. We'll need a day or two to git em all up but worth the wait I believe. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Chris,
It was an amazing weekend... Can't wait to start going through the pics! Here's a teaser; a photo of the motely crew! For those who are on the fence about becoming an annual, or even a lifetime member, the opportunities to meet some great new friends, learn about prospecting from some pretty smart folks, and to have some great laughs around a campfire, it is more than worth the price of admission! This weekend was worth the price of a Lifetime membership, and I've still got the rest of my life to get in more fun! AND I officially became a successful gold miner this weekend! :) -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

Sounds like it was a great time!! Love the picture Crusty, saving that one for my computer background.
I hope you put some clothes on before you started digging Brandon. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Nope, dug all weekend in my unmentionables!
Also had a great weekend and will post the pictures we got tonight after I get home. Chris is an awesome host and is very generous with all that he has up there. Sad that no annual members showed up, y'all have no idea the fun that you missed! -------------------- Life goes by so fast/You only wanna do what you think is right/Close your eyes and it's past/Story of my life - Mike Ness

Now that's fancy! Can't say your wife dressed you either since you never got dressed.
Those are pretty comfortable though I must say. Looking forward to more pics guys!! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Hopefully I can attend next years, trying to save a little from each paycheck so I can at the very least become a yearly member.
Can't wait to see pics. -------------------- - You Rock! (Literally)

That would be great!
Admittedly, I did not take many pics on this trip since there were a couple of pros on board with primo equipment ( Scratch & Crusty). Scratch is still up there and I don't think he took a ton but Crusty did and I'm counting on him! Here is a look at base camp. 2014 CP LD 1 by ghostcreekmine, on Flickr Here is a peek into one of Crusty's pans, Garnets and a nice lil flake. 2014 CP LD 2 by ghostcreekmine, on Flickr -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Consider these previews, I have to get the full sized ones off of her phone.

In the old-timey photo from left to right: Scratch, swizz, Dypheron, Crusty, and Brandon's wife Erin in front.
Good hail shot Brandon. That gave the camp a good drenching. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Starting to show some good color! Got through running the 30-/50+ cons and panned them down. Ran the 50-/100+ and ran out of daylight. I'll pan those and run the 100- cons tomorrow and probably rerun the cons again this weekend. I got in a hurry when classifying and had some smaller material stuck to larger stuff so I'm pretty sure there's gold in my tailings bucket. Even had a few small bits of gold hang on with the larger stuff!
