Year Four - Day Sixty-Two

Summer's View

Today we drove out to Crow Creek Mine near Girdwood to do some gold panning!  It is a cool little mine setting, and they actually have weddings there all the time because of the scenery. There was one today, as well!


We geared up, got our boots and rain gear on (because it was raining off and on, as usual in Girdwood) and took our shovels, pans, and a sluice box to the river!  We spent the whole afternoon there, and Sam worked really hard – he loved it!  We actually found some gold, too! I was surprised! We finished up the day by stopping at the Silvertip Grill in town for a meal before driving home.
