Old Miner Don

Congratulations Mike!

Good 'ole Hudson!

Oh man Ghost Miner you really have the 'cliff hanger' thing down pat!

That IS good news!

Gold Seeker posted the link to the correct area. I would have responded sooner but I was taking a nap. Sorry.

I have a gold claim in the Middle Santiam area and you would be welcome to visit. But I will tell you straightaway that Jed's claim will have a bunch more gold on it lol. Visiting Paxton would be a fun thing to do down the road. Kinda depends on the price of gas etc.

Thank you for reassuring us Ghost Miner. You finding any color in that hole?

Thank you for planning to post the entire journal on here! Some of us on fixed income may not be able to afford the book, and that will likely include me. I thought awhile back if the book ends up being around $20 then I might buy one. I am sure it will be more than that and it's okay that I probably can't get one, BUT I really am glad that you are posting all of the journal! I would have been very disappointed to not know the end, and once again THANK YOU very much for putting it on Steve's website.

Lol good luck getting some sleep tonight Jed. Wonder how much gold Jed would have traded for some NV goggles?

Wow, things sure seem to have slowed down with whiskey Jack, Ben and Sarge gone. Kinda depressing 😢

You didn't make a mistake. You are doing great and I for one very much appreciate you telling the tale in your own way.

Of course there will be others. Now that you have mentioned it lol.

Something to do with "no trouble on the mountain"?

Do you know by chance where whiskey Jack is buried?

When the story started out I was liking every one of your posts. Then after giving you several likes I got a popup that said I have used up all my likes for one day...or something to that effect. I hadn't realized that we couldn't just like everything. After that I started using my 'likes' sparingly. I will try to max them out because you and Jed and the crew deserve it man!

Well that's possible. I would consider it. I am a day's drive from that area.

Well Ghost Miner I'm curious. Are you talking about meeting and do something together kind of adventure?

Stay tuned?? Okay lol. I hope nothing happens to you Ghost Miner before you get this journal posting completed!! Be careful and don't take any risks with your life man. I love this story and I want you to know that and also how very much I appreciate the time you are spending to tell the story. Thank you!
