Rain and fierce winds again today. Told Bill Lee the mule rancher we would be coming down to the corral tomorrow morning rain or shine.
Allen panned for gold down. Found a huge flake! Lots of smaller flakes too.
This is Allen's first day of his 40 day fast. He's starting his mission here in Colorado after his fast. He is emulating Christ's fast in the wilderness beginning his ministry.
We're battening down the hatches anticipating yet another storm coming now out of the west! When will this monsoon weather quit?!
Not much happened today but resting up for tomorrow. I did descend the nearly vertical slope on the north side of our campsite to go down to Spring Gulch Creek to join Allen in his effort at panning for placer gold. The hike up was incredibly difficult!
Gotta go storm hitting now.
First pics of the gold flakes Allen found in the Creek. Last pic is the Idaho Springs Cemetery about 3-4 miles down the valley.
