My parents have a claim about 140 miles north of us. They go up just about every weekend and and dredge. So far they've found less than 1/4 of an ounce. Thier claim has already been picked through with commercial equiptment, so they are just finding what the big stuff missed. We were told that back in the 70's some old man found 1,200 ounces in 24 hours on our claim. We're just waiting to find that second motherload on the claim.

the forest folded its branches around me.
Something passed by, and I went into a dream.
