Today was a special day planned just for my husband! Like so many of his favorite things, his job, making money, ho-ho's, playing poker,- Panning for gold probably tops the list! His lifelong dream of "hitting paydirt" and "bringing home the mother lode" would be the conversation of many dinners and construction sites- like so many of his Navy stories- ;) I love you Honey!!
We spent the day in the mountains scouring through the exact site that the gold rush fever started. 2 men who started a sawmill, stumbled across a rock that shown like "goald"! but no one believed them. It actually took a whole year for people to catch the "fever" which spawned a migration of people to the area in 1849- hence the San Francisco 49er's!!
Our luck was much like the ones who showed up late.

Anything...........Anything....................
As his wife is yelling in the background- Get More Claims Done!
