Hiked To River, And When I Got There, It Was Covered With Ice


Recommended Posts

Got spanked today! I hiked down to a river, only to find it was covered with ice. I cut a hole in the ice big enough for my California river sluice, only to discover very low water flow. Luckily I brought along the "Ity-Bity sluice, which kind of worked. I only ran half a bucket of gravel screened to 10 mesh.

Sorry  to see the ice slow you down on this trip, but it is going to warm up soon and I'm sure that you are going to get the gold.

Better luck on your next trip, and stay safe out there.

Look at all the times you hit a home run on your gold adventure but just this one time it wasn’t to be .

 Remember my old saying and that’s A little of something is better than a lot of nothing. 
Best to you John!

Oh well, I slept good overnight. That in itself is a good thing.
