Admin nuggethunting Posted June 10, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hello All, Sorry it took forever to get at least part of the story up, but been extremely busy on my end. Many might remember that Grubstake Gary invited Leaverite and I up for a hunt several weeks ago. I must tell you; this was one of the best trips I have even been on. California has so much "Eye Candy" from the gold, nature and landscape. Leaverite and I left early Sunday morning and arrived in Mariposa around 5pm. We both were a bit tired from the long drive, so we decided to visit Gary. We were not going to start hunting until early Tuesday morning, so Grubstake suggested we visit the Fairgrounds to see one of the best gold and mineral displays in the country. Monday Leaverite and I checked out the Fairgrounds and seen some beautiful California gold and tons of mineral specimens from around the World. We also decided to take a trip down to the Merced River and check it out. Man, talk about crystal clear water.... I wished I could have dropped in a dredge, but the dredge season didn't start until the following weekend. Well, here are some pictures of gold specimens I took and what the Merced River looks like. More coming soon....Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1dredger Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Rob glad to see you made it back. Those CA rivers are one thing that makes it so hard to get away from CA. They are the source of about all my summer fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I can remember back in the 90's we used to drive down stream to whites gluch. Haven't been there in the passed 6 months, so I don't know how low it is now. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
