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.
