Another one gone too soon...

Marlin Littlefield of Crawford, CO died last week. He loved dredging and owned several claims in southwest Colorado. He was a staunch proponent for miners' rights, and a solid opponent of the BLM's strategy of ending gold mining in our streams. I was blessed to get to know Marlin and Deb, and to learn from the man. God speed...

I wish that there was a way to hold on to some all this know-how. Leonard's video section is pretty good. But I have seen them all. Now I am wishing for some more.

My condolences to the family.

The ranks are growing old and not being replenished with youngsters. Just think of all the knowledge that is being lost!!

[Ornery Cuss]

My condolences as well.


As for youngsters coming up....

They don't want to do the work, the research, the ground pounding
They want the map with an "X" saying dig here, and send someone to do the work for me
It's the "I deserve it" mentality.
You don't deserve S**T, get out there and work for it like the rest of us have

In my opinion the word 'deserve' should be removed from the dictionary

I work at a college and see it all day long
This country is heading for a world of hurt
KIM JUN UN or what ever his name is will be president someday
Then the youngsters will really be happy

Calm down....calm down

You think it's bad in college??? Back down to public high school and have a real close look at 5th generation welfare mentality. Forget "no pass, no play". We need " no work, no eat"!!!

Rest In Peace as well. We've been thinning out for quite some time now.
