Well I can only assume that everyone is out chasing the dream at some claim in the good ole U.S.A. and are about to hit the "Mother lode" hopefully today! and they will share picture's of their good fortune with us !
I never realized how lucky I was to spent most of the summers at altitude under water where the temperature was moderate. This hot weather really sucks. Leonard
Unfortunately the only chasing I do any more is in my dreams. In my waking moments I imagine and even plan on putting my little dredge in the water and playing; but alas, it's only make believe.
