BJ, I can appreciate that. I didn't mean for you to reveal trade secrets. Many of the Gold miners that I met loved to show us the Gold, but the where was kept secret. :) There is gold to be found, you just have to sift a lot of dirt to find it. Also, it helps to know what you are doing. Alaska Gold is special, IMO, it is much prettier.

Bill, Thanks for sharing the picture. That is quite a ship.

Well, I know it is starting to get cold in Alaska. Summer is definately over. My son said he had to scrape ice off his windshield already. Although it is already getting colder here in Alabama, I would rather spend the winters here. Getting too old to scrape windshields. But I do miss seeing my two sons that still live in the North Country. How is the weather where you live? I prefer the sunshine. June is the month for Alaska.
