Gold Panning Fun
I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Outside of the little community of Hope, Alaska, you’ll find a state park area where people still go gold panning. We scoped it out earlier in the summer and then brought some family members out to experience it first hand.
Our outing was blessed with fantastic weather. The previous summer had so much rain and temps averaging in the mid-50s. So, we loved the clear skies. The locale we visited was more shaded than not, although we had pockets of sun on the river.
While the girl cousins found it fun, they didn’t quite catch gold fever nearly as hard as their dad and D. We had a difficult time pulling them away from the water and their gold panning adventures.
And, a few of us had time for solitude.
and to smell the flowers.
Gold panning is a blast! I remember I did it a few times.. some in alaska. Very nice to discover some gold.
Nice blog, good stuff and nice pics. Enjoy seeing other posts and websites on gold prospecting, keep up the good work! Thanks, from your friends here @ Gold Pan Fever
How neat, we’ve talked of taking a vaca out west and do some panning. My daughter was able to ‘mine’ some gems at a farm we went to in October, she enjoyed it.
You’re fam is a lot like mine. We love being outside and enjoying things like this! great pics!
Thanks, Marie. We definitely have our days of being confined inside. But, when the weather is great it is hard to NOT go out and enjoy it.
