This thread is for pics from the 2015 CP Labor day Outing held at my claims. I will add my pics within the next day or two.
What a great time we had!!
Let's see what you saw!
Here's a current pic of the Caveman Hole.

This is a closer look, it's approx 10ft deep. On top you can see that we removed overburden (black soil) to expand the cut north. The angled timber in the hole is for animal escape as suggested by William. It'll save the mice from drowning in the future... hole fills with water.

Here's Hambone taking a break on the new cut.

what a difference a year makes! Check out the knee deep hole!
Wow! That is hard to believe.
Love the pics guys! Looks like the dig is really coming along nicely. Great pic of everyone sitting round taking turns being mauled with love by Timber.
Here are some pics of us shooting Crusty's gnarly toy at night.

Nobody else took pics?
Beautiful pics!
I've been scrambling a bit since the outing too, crunch time. Haven't had time to process my cons yet either.
Congrats again on the retirement!!!!
Damn, dam repairs look nice.

Holy sh!t I forgetted, happy retirement Crustmaster Mike.
Great pics, makes me super jealous! I didn't get to make it to the high country at all this year, definitely shooting for next year, though!
At the start of each day the Prospectors would bow their heads in prayer.
Great pics and reports everyone and thanks for posting them up here to share with everyone. I see by the pics and reports it was another totally great outing for those who got to attend.
SWEET!!
Gotta start with pumping the hole
Casa de Crusty
Double banking!
Chow break
Emac and family mining in style! Luckily the road was just graded, so they made it in with no problems.
Swizz handling his hose again
Emac's son Lane was a big help!
Working together with a great group of club members is an added bonus to finding color.
James working this Angus mini long tom
Emac in the hole
Timber getting some love
And passing it on (or eating AJ's face lol)
The Caveman Hole has come a long way!
Nothing like a plate of MEAT after a long day's work!
Even the pooches are welcome around the fire!
Blackberry Crisp in the Dutch oven
Emac making pancakes for breakfast! No shortage of good chow in our camp!
James taking a turn manning the hose
AJ doing work
Swizz shovelin' some nice rusty baby poop out of the bottom of the hole!
Swizz had a drawing for a cool bag of minerals/gems. Lane won and they're classifying it to see what kind of cool goodies were in it!
Brats smothered in pulled pork!
Monday morning brought rain :(
Swizz in the hole for the last time of the weekend. Sure is impressive to see how much material we moved!
2015 season in the bag...
Bye Timber!
Thanks for the invite Swizz! Always great to share a weekend with you at your little piece of heaven!
Always my pleasure to have CP Members up there, you are all amazing!
Thanks for the excellent pics you guys!! I like the ones of AJ with the big ol wrench, classic.
I think I'll be up there again soon to try and expand that cut some more before winter, just gonna scale back some more overburden.... feeling ambitious.
EMac... did you and Lane have a chance to ID the crystals and gemstones from that paydirt yet? Really curious to see how many were in that one, it was looking good!
Good to see some more awesome pics from everyone! I wish we could have taken more before the battery died. I think Cyndi may have a couple on her phone that we will have to get on here too. Swizz, let me know when your planning on going, would love to maybe come give a hand.
Depending on when you go I may buzz up there on the motorcycle and help out too.
Cool! I'll let you guys know when can get up there.
Great pics everyone, thank you!! I hope we're able to get together like that again next year.
Glad y'all had a great trip... well 2 great trips I guess lol
look forward to doing it again!!
My results from C Hole on Labor Day weekend are similar to Crusty's. Very happy with the chunky lil picker from the upper layers.
