I stopped by Hayfork Creek on the way home to let Tasha air out and get a drink. Mary and I used to have a mining claim here, but it didn’t pan out. We’d camp out while we prospected for gold. On this visit, fall color gilded the landscape.
I only found gold in the leaves this time.
Look more gold! Tasha enjoyed the water.

Tim, so many things are more precious than gold. Thanks for sharing some of the simple ones we might easily overlook.

True story Ali. It didn’t. There wasn’t enough gold in the pan. ☹️

Beautiful area, Tim.. I guess your gold is in your dogs – not a bad thing either.

Now if we could just train those dogs to sniff the gold we’d have both!

She’s a water dog. The fall colors really compliments her. It’s always fun to bring her along.

Beautiful forest and river Tim, but as you say if no gold in the water you have some in the trees.
Tasha seems happy..
