What we did!

This is the blog of our 12th Trip to the U.S.A.
On this trip we arrived in March and spent a week with our friends Connie NA Jim at their Bluegrass Party, in Florida.
We then flew to Phoenix, where we collected our rig and then explored Southern Arizona, from the cowboy city of Tombstone in the East, to the desert City of Yuma in the West.
Travelling north along the course of the Colorado river we visited the London Bridge at Lake Havasu before exploring the Mojave Desert, including some more of Rout 66 and Calico Ghost Town.
Moving North West through California we shared in the CBA Bluegrass Campout in Turlock, before visiting Bodega Bay to follow The Birds. After sampling the delights of the Napa Valley we joined in The Fiddle Convention at Cloverdale before storing our rig and returning home after seeing some friends in San Leandro, near San Francisco.
This blog gives a day to day record of many of the things we did on this trip.

May 16th - There's Gold In Them Thar Hills!

While we have been cleaning the trailer we have been chatting to a couple of our neighbours. The RV across the way, with some really nice people, is owned by real Gold Prospectors. Johnny and Lisa spend their summer months panning for gold, and they really do find it! They showed us some of the results of their labours. We had a very pleasant time talking about how to pan for gold and where some good places are, so next year when we come back we might have a go and see if we can pan some for ourselves.

    We were shown by a couple up in Alaska and in the process of tipping out his chips and nuggets of gold to show us, he dropped some of it!
    It looks like a tedious job to me!
