Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Doin' Nothin'

Sometimes it's just nice to do nothing. We went into Medford Thursday and came back the same day...it's an all-day affair. We tried out Abby's Legendary Pizza - there are a lot of these restaurants around - and it was good but not our favorite.

Mike went out this morning and got his dredge into his spot. It's been raining for a couple hours so he's not sure if he'll be able to start dredging tomorrow.

A little bit about this dredging stuff. The 4-incher that he bought has a 4" hose and nozzle. The diver is weighted down so that he can get to the bedrock under the water and vacuum up the bottom into the dredge. The intake is washed over the classifiers that are above ground and any gold settles into the grooves and moss cloth that lines the classifiers. The big rocks and dirt are washed away.


Now, for some cute stuff. The neighbor's cat, Matrix, likes to get away from their kids by sitting on the nearby deer statute. And this adorable picture of prairie dogs is from RV Dreams Journal, a 40ish couple that is RVing full-time and workcamping.

That's it from Happy Camp on this Friday evening.
