Hey John. Dredging just for you!

[golden optimist]

Dave and 2 friends went dredging today. Ed, Corky, and I sat on the bank and watched.

Brandon has the legs of youth and it really helped. He went up and down the bank a couple of dozen times.

The 4" suction hose heads down the bank

They hit bedrock and ended up with a few small flakes and some fines. I'm supposed to get a picture later. I didn't stay until they were done. Lots of nice water and it was a great day.

I'm feeling pretty good but my dredging days are over. I didn't go down the bank because I wasn't sure I could get back up. That's ok though. I had a great run at it and now it's time to rest on my laurels.

Yep Dick it was good to get out even if I didn't have my dredge , BUT id rather have been out dredgeing! looks like o is gonna try to put a real crimp on prospecting and dredgeing if he gets his way! it seems like the damocrats don't care about America or Her people or the American laws! Its "their" way or the highway!

Glad you guys got out - that's the main thing.

[russau]

Matt its good to see you pop your head up! Hope all is good with you and your wife!

Russ:
I measured the dredge box the other day and it looks like I can ship it UPS. 4' x 10" x 10" Maybe I can get it to you in time for next year.
