Look hard. I'm pretty sure that's written in the fine print on your marriage license. lol.. Nice pics. @shottafire. I couldn't get enough back woods camping as a younger man. But I got to tell you that you are doing it wrong. Although the gold pan would be fun (and most likely addicting) what you need is a fry pan and a fly rod. I was drooling a bit at the pics. of the wee stream.
Glad you found some gold on the trip. At today's prices would that cover the cost? I would never head into the back woods without a little back pack rod. Old fishin' buddies and I would spend a week in canoes, eating trout, morning, noon and night. And no we didn't over fish, even then we would only keep smaller ones for our meal, and they were spread out over miles of water way. Catch and release has been around many years. Tied my own fly's back then, trying my best to copy the local hatch. My best were stone fly's taking rainbows in north central B.C. Hell of a good fight with a six lb. wild fish on say a four pound test and a light rod.
Man we have a lot invested and so far cost hasn’t been covered. But once we move some rocks and get down to hard pack and bedrock we should cover cost and then some. It’s cool cause we planted a few trees out in the woods to compensate our efforts there. I love fishing always been more into saltwater but I always bring a little rod into the woods no matter where I go if there’s fish. I ate quite a few during may. I spent 21 days camping there in may.Glad you found some gold on the trip. At today's prices would that cover the cost? I would never head into the back woods without a little back pack rod.

They can be expensive or they can be cheap depends on the seller. Me and a buddy picked these two 40 acre claims up for 6k from an older gentleman that simply cpuldthe country is not easy country very hard to get to. 4x4 is needed to get to parking spot and then you need to climb a little over 1200 feet of very steep mountain.
Wow. Better be to pay for 6k gold claim and airline tickets to go run it. Hope you're having fun with it.
Just the tranquility and beauty of the place is worth the investment. We could easily sell these two claims as it stands for well over what we paid. For now it’s just plain fun and if we hit that pocket which we very well could We could be sitting really nice.
