Gold Panning on the Rogue

Beating the heat with Jeff and Tammi was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with temperatures soaring up to 110 degrees in the Rogue Valley. We lunched at a beautiful spot in the shade with the tables and chairs set up in the water. After a lunch time swim, River Guide, Tim rowed the crew downstream to a "Secret-Gold-Panning-Site"! Jeff dug low, Kari scouted high and between all of the digging, swishing, laughing and looking they discovered Gold in them-there hills! Of course the tiny flakes look magnified in the water, but the color in the pan was still very exciting.

We found more swimming holes to keep cool in on such a warm day. Tammi decided to ride the bull through Lower Argo and looked like a pro. It was a terrific day on the river with Jeff and Tammi: great river companions, friends and terrific gold prospectors!
