Well done sirs! My pump is back up and going, so I might have to go find these honey holes y'all and Relics are into.

QUOTE (swizz @ Sep 5 2016, 04:34 PM)  There certainly is.  Had an outstanding day yesterday with neighbor Alec and ran into CL6 while we were there. Not sure how he did, but Alec and I tag-teamed a new hole and did really well. Weather was perfect and the water was warm.

Nice work Swizz, looks great. I was backpacking in the Rawah wilderness this weekend. Caught some nice Cuts in Twin Crater lakes. Saw some places I would really like to dip a pan if it wasn't a wilderness area.

You can prospect in "Widerness Areas" as long as the Area does not have special rules attached stating that you cannot. Typically you CAN. The only stipulation is that these areas are "withdrawn from mineral entry" which indicates that you may not file a claim there. I would be extremely conscientious of refilling holes and leaving NO traces of disturbance in these areas. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

I will be back at CC on Friday if I can finish a job today (kind of a big "if"). Let me know if any of you will be there and want to wet a pan.

Thanks! It was a long work day today but I completed the project allowing me a day off tomorrow for shovel-therapy. I may go on Saturday as well but I know you'll be at the mineral show.

Another outstanding day on the crick!
 Timber and I had the place to ourselves, no other folks all day. I slow-sluiced a total of 8 buckets of 1/2" class and was showing good colors again. This time I moved more to the center of the creek. I have a theory about the last area we dug Emac, I'll shoot you a PM.

Nice Chris, sounds like you had a splendid day on the creek with Timber!
Would have loved to been there with you today myself finding some of sweet yella' stuff too! Maybe next time though, I know you didn't all the gold up there yet!

I may run the Blue Bowl today to process the last two trips. I'll probably post up results in the Clear Creek Cleanups thread in the Protected Forum after I get that Gold separated. I think it's gonna be good.

It was good.
Next day for me will be Tuesday if anyone will be in the canyon.

I'll probably post the next cleanup here. I might dust off the highbanker and drag it to the creek on Tuesday.
