Re: Thee Gold Miner Named Matthew


What's the value of the memories?

Also just saying, 24 crayons is really pretty good - you can do a lot with that many different colors.


The memories are priceless! To anyone reading this, finding .07g of gold by yourself without paying $10 for it is pretty awesome. Anytime I find gold in the ...

Re: 2026 Stagecoach 400 Bike Ride


Thank you for taking on this extreme burden. I will do the TDLP one of these years (probably once it’s been cancelled and we have to rope Ian into doing a homies only edition).

Any post that starts off saying it is not click bait, well you know the rest. This feels like a flaky post.


This was the least amount of found gold for the hour I spent! Other times that were worse were hours spent with no gold. Luckily, the hot spot still to this day isn't in east fork so I'm ...
