I'm planning on going up the 7th for 5 or 6 days or so. I don't plan on dredging though. Just hanging out, camping, and having a great time.

Still a lot of water going out of Rob Roy. http://webcam.cheyennebopu.org/webcam/robroyout.jpg It looks almost like the Arkansas. I'm still planning on going up on thursday the 7th anyway. I''m not planning on dredging though.

You know that water's COLD!! Wally's going to have to swallow hard to keep his boys down where they belong. Water like that can make a grown man sing alto.

It looks like neighbor Bob and his wife is coming up to Douglas Creek for the wwweken. I'll bring up some dredge concentrates and we can "blue bowel" them. I'm still ne planning on any dredging, just camping.

Leonard,

I've not seen a blue bowl in operation. When & where would you set this up? After reading your post several times, it looks like you're talking about doing it at Douglas Creek.

Take a look here. http://www.pioneermining.com/

It's battery operated so we may do it at Douglas Creek.
