There's Gold in Them Thar Shallow California Creeks

You are probably tired of hearing about the super recreational gold panning opportunities created by the drought in California.

I think I will call the participants the "Fifteeners".

I have decided to curate one more article regardless, it shall be about the new 2015 California gold rush...

Here is what the NY Times has to say about the California drought and the gold rush it has created:

How to make money gold panning in Utah

I'm back already.  I found a really good article about panning gold in Utah.

Interesting for me because I am going to be there at the beginning of August, after Hot August Nights in Reno, NV. I will not be panning for gold but visiting the Bonneville salt Flats for speed week.  You should go!!

I have spent a lot of time in Utah and to be honest, never really considered a place to go for gold panning.

I gave the article read and there's some really good links at the bottom that I followed up on.

I'm sure you will want to as well.

This might be a blog you'll want to keep an eye on.

Here is the LINK:

Hungry After a Hard Day Gold Panning?

I couldn't find any real good gold panning articles to show you today so I decided to send this instead.

I have to be a fan of sourdough bread, so decided that maybe you would be to.  As a matter fact it just had a tuna sandwich made with sourdough bread.

Anyway, it's a quick read, let me know what you think please.

The Yukon River Quest: Not Gold Panning But Fun Anyway.

English: Photo of Dawson City, Yukon, taken by Michael Edwards on June 10, 2007. For the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson_City (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

This was sent to me ny some travel company that had the idea I was interested in going North. I would normally have spammed it but decided to have a look. I have never been to the Yukon territories but have wondered about it a few times. If I was to go Dawson City is at the top of my list. A couple of cousins lived in Whitehorse as children but moved south in their teens. Better schools.

I have visited the Arctic a couple of times working in Alaska on the pipeline and Canada in the Arctic Ocean on a Dredge building Islands. A story for another time.
