Panning for Gold
Idaho

Trip Planning logo

From Meridian into the Idaho mountains to pan for gold. An experience to remember forever, and who knows, if you go there then there is even a possibily to come back richer.

John's Comments Not an everyday adventure, but driving up into the mountains, sleeping with the bears, elk etc., helped to make this an overnight trip that will last a lifetime. Returning with real Gold just added to the experience, especially when one had to make that effort to obtain. From the crushing of the rocks, to the panning of the resulting sand tailings can be a time consuming operation. The final product (gold) however makes it very worthwhile and you have that urge to return to a prospector's life in search of the millions. Machines today, however, will allow personnal work efforts to be reduced tremendously.
John`s Recollections - 2009

Who is interested in striking it rich. Me for sure and as I ground up the rocks and used the panning dish it was that thought of finding that large nugget that had my interest. Might not have made me rich but the thought was enough to pretend I was with the rich and famous. Unfortunately the few grains of gold were enough to bring me back to reality.
