with the current fuel prices,driving long distances is going to be real costly this year,but Douglas Creek is my only priority this year! who knows? this year may be the last year for dredgeing for me,atleast thats what ive been telling my wife for the last 6 years. what i need is one of the 30 foot pontoon boats with a 6 inch dredge under it like Bill B. talked about. then i could take my wife out "boating". you think she would go for that???:)

Regular is $3.89 here right now. If it gets much over $4.00 before July, I'll have to rethink being able to go myself. My Ford V10 only gets 10 mpg running empty. When pulling the 5th wheel, I'll be lucky to get 7 going up hill all the way. At least gas will be cheaper once we cross into Wyoming; nearly .20 cents cheaper than national average based on a recent chart I saw.
