Northwest prospecting, Lawson Bar

Went to lawson bar for a little highbanking. The weather wasn't too great, and I didn't find a lot of gold (as usual) but I had fun in spite of how it might look. I WAS really tired and sore and grouchy, I guess, but I'll definitely be going again when the water level comes down.

Not bad gold man........Time to giver an get it done.....LOL.

Ever try the high and dry benches around that area?

Never really been there before. There's a lot of private land around there. There's one place I'd like to go even when the water is high, but I don't have the time for it, unfortunately. Seems like I'm working more than ever lately, but for less money.

great to see that at least you can home with some? gold. better then nuttin.... sad you are waiting for march to get out more. im going to try and last all winter. and watch the river as i do . this way i can see the hot spots for spring when the water is down too. good luck next time out, thanks for posting!!!

I'd love to get down there when the water's the highest, just to see where the flow is, but it's about a 10 hour round trip drive, and I can't really even afford the gas to go down. Keep thinking next year will be better. :)
