Today we drove over to the Creamer’s Field Migratory Bird
Center to do some bird watching. We walked around the lake area and some
fields, but we only saw some Sandhill Cranes (cool) and some Savannah Sparrows.
Later in the day, we went to the Gold Dredge 8, which is an
old gold dredge that was operational until the 1950’s. There are still active
gold mines in the area, some of them quite lucrative! We rode a train up to the dredge, and the
tour guide was very informative about the whole operation and how it all
worked.
When we reached the dredge, we were all given a bag of rocks
and dirt to pan our own gold. Sam loved this part the best! J When we went in to weigh our gold, it was
worth $38.75.
