Wow out today to our surprise the ice on the lake was out ! So nice to see the water ! Miss Busy jumped in for a little swim. The Big Watson Lake will be not be too far behind this little lake. Great, now a few more birds have their water and opened up nesting areas for them. North Land Spring
Sluice Days
Get everything running, a warm up ! Coffee and snacks with Miss Busy, I then put every thing on line and go to work washing the trucked in ore. Sluice days are flat out days for me ! Feeding the Wizard and keeping an eye on it all, I get out and do a rounder, head box, top end, bottom end, sluice box, I work quickly, when you have motors running you have to be sluicing !
The day is a long one and you’re not complete until the gold plant is ready to go for it’s next gold run, all the tailing rock is moved, and the truck ramp is cleaned up for the ore haul to the ore pad. I am always doing service or repairs as I move through the day ! Wow, and I still find time to party with Miss Busy as we move through our day together. The Gold Miners Life
Digging Deep
I was out looking for a few of the things I can see I’m going to need as I get going. Spring is flashes of things to be gathering, get them into the mine load ! Always a can of tar for the roof ! I do not like to be leaked on in bed ! just about the time summer comes to my little Watson Lake Town I move up into the mountains. Back into the snow and catch another spring the mountains.

Dig And Haul
I dig just gold ore to the gold plant, I watch this very closely, seen here digging in the big rock to find my ore. I then load and go in the truck, off to the ore pad dump and fill the stock pile up. Dig Day ! Haul Day !
