Gold Panning in the mountains!

Well the next day we were up for another adventure!

we went up in the mountains with my high school

buddy, David and his wife Mariann and their 14 year old , Buddy

to pan for gold!

What an awesome day we had! No we didn't strike it

rich but having friendships and doing stuff together

 we sure feel a  lot richer than some!

Now how often would you meet up with someone from back home

way out here in Rapid City, South Dakota~

David and Dave navigating our way into the mountains
what an awesome day we had!

The four Amigos at the end of the day we
stopped at the Mangy Moose in
Hill City, S.D. and  had a
beer and some wings!

What a better way to finish a day with our
friends and No we didn't hit the
Mother load when panning!

I guess we will have to pan in many more places
Never giving up!

Live ~ Love ~ Laugh
Always!
