I was so tired last night.
It stays daylight 24/7 and it’s just hard for me to sleep. If you come this way be sure to check the
curtain situation before booking. We are
at the famous Downtown Motel and it is pet friendly and pretty nice.
We got up and ate some cereal, did some laundry and then went for lunch at Sourdough Joe’s Restaurant. It was good food. I had some sort of Egg McDawson.
We shopped around and then headed out to claim 6. No more lessons. George was digging in and doing some serious sluicing. I was doing some panning and getting some small pieces. George was in his hip waders and in the middle of the stream; staying dry in the 8” water. He is getting some bigger pieces the deeper he digs. Everyone around is really interested in learning and watching George. We were supposed to back at the museum for a show at 5:30 so we packed up and started home. Then the adventure started. We thought we saw a film crew so we turned around and followed them. Sure enough it was. It was 60 minutes doing some filming about the gold prospecting. We gave them George’s gold blog card and then decided to check out Quartz creek where the gold show is filmed. We drove and drove for miles through the mountains. The roads were rough and narrow. After 1 ½ hours we got to Quartz Creek. We passed so many huge gold mines but only one had workers. The Gold Rush show always makes a big deal of how they have to work work work because their season is so short but it was 7PM and only one mine was operating.
We finally made it back to the room at 9:00 and ate supper here. Toto is out like a light. George is still hungry at 11:00 and just opened a bag of cookies. Toto didn’t budge and he’s literally laying right beside him. He was thrown around in the truck on those rough road and it just wore him out. Well, it’s late and we are going to bed. It’s about midnight here but still light. I put a sheet over the window tonight. So guess who’s going to finally get some good sleep?
