Zooka had about 3 different pumps and we either couldn't get them to run or they wouldn't prime. Thats why there wasn't any video of the cleanup. I watched for about 30 minutes and then gave up and went back to camp for a drink.

Yep I had 5 small engines along, 2 for the 2 dredges, 2 pumps for highbankers, and one that was running just a T-80 for sniping. Ran the dredge pumps and air pump at home to be sure they worked, but didnt get to the two highbanker pumps due to no more time. Turned out they both had problems, the WX10 had a blown seal so would not suck a prime, and the ChinaClone to the WX15 was a victim of 6 month old gas. Thought I would never get it to run till finally after 3rd major carb dismantling it stopped plugging jet with little pieces of gunk.... after we left Douglas Creek of course!
We stayed in the Sawtooth National Rec Area of Idaho, which was flat gorgeous, here is one campshot pic:

and moved on to inlaws' place in central ID. They had some dredging and even gold - though this was the bad day of the 3:

All in all a great vacation!

Zooka, your luck is about like mine. You bring everything you think you might need and then it will not work. Wish I would have known you were coming up. Looks like you all had fun. I need to get up there next year and join in the fun. Leonard, thanks for the videos and commentary.

Z, you need to add Sta-bil or Seafoam to your fuel to keep this from happening.
