Rye Patch Stuff

[fredmason]

I spent last week in and around Rye Patch. The weather was variable with rain, sleet, snow flurries and freezing wind chills...with occasional sunshine. Some days I was shivering and some times too hot, that is why I dress in layers...

I found 4 nuggets and earned two from a "pot day"...no, not the kind you smoke-the kind you share!  Tom liked to keep the group efforts and fun factor going so he invents these little contests...it was fun being sociable ! Hanging with the guys something is pretty new to my world.

anyway I got a decent photo of this little guy-they usually run like the wind but this guys posed very nicely...there is always more to gold hunting than the gold

Ohhh Man...look at that flat ground.... Open desert hunting.......very nice indeed especially with friends. Nice nuggets.....

Miles of endless terrain, with a chance for a nugget at each step.....and with the Zed  there is always the chance for that big one...hunting with friends makes it even more special. Thanks for sharing.. My dog "Buddy" likes lizards too!

Love your landscape! Also my google finger wishes to know what type of lizard that is.

MT; I am thinking it is a leopard lizard....I gave my reptile book to my son...have not found a suitable replacement.

Northern Nevada reminds a bit of Western Australia....a beautiful place!

thanks, guys!

Ok Fred.  Are you finished with all the congratulations?  Did you have a really good time?  You took some nice pictures.

NOW, the next time you get out there put more nuggets in your poke. (More weight too!)  I know you can do it.

Some of us need a kick in the ass once in a while.  haha
