Gold Trip Ahead

[libertydave]

A number of NW folks from NAMA are going down to the SF Umpqua in a couple of weeks. Most are staying at River's West RV Park near Myrtle Creek, OR. I'm planning on using my hi-banker with a hydro-force nozzle. Previously had good luck on the above stream bedrock. If you are in the area stop by and say "Hi".

As a precaution,with all the new restrictions in Oregon,I'd check and see what can be done anymore as things sure tightened up on us miners-John

Got about a dozen local miners in addition to myself leaving for the Umpqua tomorrow and Sunday. Now 71 and still lacking any common sense...but going for the gold remains a strong calling. Also I consider this trip a personal tribute to the fun DEF events of a dozen years ago.

Should note that three local dredgers received their (pricy) OR dredging permits. Others, like myself, will be hi-banking....and just having fun. I'm again using my 2-1/2" Hydro-Force "dry-land dredging" nozzle on the above stream bedrock and the sluice's outflow does not directly go back into the river as my spot where I'm working is a verrrrrry long distance of layflat hose away and above the river.

If in the area stop by 'River's West RV Park' and say "Hi".

Should note that while the abore stream gold is mostly found in unworked bedrock cracks/crevices most say there is much still to be found. More after I get back in a couple of weeks. Leonard, Matt, Bonaro, Grivy, BillBrew, Hoser and all others...we'll hoist one for you. Cheers!

[russau]

it sure would be nice to have another DEF or any reunion /get together for all to meet. its been to long since the last one!

Colorado 2015 would be cool. Oregon clamping down even more next year and by god I bloody well want to dredge without hiding like a rat. Have some cool CCC videos and looks pretty nice to me,mucho overburden but I don't work that hard anymore anyhow John

[russau]

im not sure what if any restrictions would be "imposed" for a group like that? id really like to see it somewhere!
