Bugler Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 This winter in Western Montana has put snow level on my claim at about ten feet with snow drifts 25 feet or more on the road in. I have spent the winter researching and studying. I just wish I could retain half of what I have read. Normally I have to wait until July 1 to get in and get the gold. Usually it is worth the wait. This year I hope to discover other deposits on the fringes of my past workings. I do coin shoot here in the valley when the snow melts and the ground is not frozen. What a lifestyle! Aren't we fortunate? Good luck out there! Bugler 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugsy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Woke up to only a coating of about an inch, still to much snow to get into the mountains. We never had a winter until the last 2-3 weeks.... it's going to be a long spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Pinxsutawney Phil see his shadow and go back in his hole? Steve, you may have been delayed by the snow but it sure is pretty. We live at the foothills of the Victorian Alps and we see the snow on the hills, we get the freezing wind blowing down the valley but we only get proper snow on the valley floor about once every 20 years. It is beautiful but only stays for a day or so. My mother in law always angrily says "if it's going to be this bloody cold it might as well snow!" I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
