Gold Mining in Alaska, with a Pretty Girl

 

 

When going gold mining, some men bring along huge machines, large crews and all the trimming that their debt will allow, but not me I am happy to bring along a pretty girl.

It is fun sitting on a log with a view of Mount McKinley just outside of Talkeetna watching my girl play in the water of the Susitna River.

 

I was not planning to do any gold mining while on my Alaska trip in pursuit of some timber land, but the pans were sitting there in Walmart inviting me on a little diversion.

 

Today as I sit here watching Sally pan for gold, and panning a bit myself, I am glad that I took an afternoon off to seek a bit of the metal that brought a rush of people to this great land.

 

We did not find any gold, but it was fun playing in the water with my girl.

Bob,

Every man should be as lucky as you are to have a girl at your side, enjoying life's treasures and experiences. This sounds like a wonderful vacation, a place where many dream about and few conquer. May you both have many more exciting placed to go, things to see and things to do. Life is grand when you have someone to share it with!

Bob: It must be all the gold has been mined out? Perhaps you should have had a fishing pole in your hand instead. Looks like you are all enjoying the trip.

Bob, isn't it funny how a pretty girl and a day off work will melt all your trouble away. For the first time in months I took a half day off to ride my motorcycle with a friend...it was great...nice way to clear the cob webs!

60 minutes had a segment on gold mining making a comeback this evening.  Looks like a great time even if you didn't strike it rich.
