Beautiful Weekend.....

Aaron and I went fishing on Saturday, it was a beautiful day but of course i was still cold, lol. I like it when it's about 80 outside. That day is was about 70 I think, but it felt a lot colder..... The fish aren't really biting right now, I think they are confused..... it's January and it's been sunny and warm for a week and a half now..... I didn't catch anything, only got a few bites, but I only fished for maybe an hour total. I just relaxed and enjoyed the outdoors. Aaron caught a few of course.....

Yesterday we went out to his parents house and went hiking out to the small creek behind his parents house. Aaron taught me how to gold pan, we only found two VERY small pieces but it was fun. Next time we will take some kind of box that makes it go a lot faster...... It was kind of a coincedence that in the paper yesterday the "today in history" section read.... On this day in 1909..... Since Jan 1, 150 new gold mines had been located and filed for record. The mines were located at Shasta, Old Diggings, Backbone, Whiskeytown, Flat Creek, Ono, Centerville, Spring Creek, Lower Springs, Upper Sacramento, Quartz Hill, Churntown, Muletown, Dog Creek, Igo, South Fork, Harrison Gulch, French Gulch, Pittsburg, Stella, Buckeye, Slate Creek and Echo Lake.

I read that after we had already gone gold panning, and we were panning at a place that was on the list "muletown". I thought that was very interesting.

Well it's back to work tonight for the next three days, maybe four if I decide to pick up an extra shift..... Hope everyone is having a good January :)

The lake is still sooooo low.... we need rain!

My sweet face mask to wear when we are going fast down the lake
