Have you had any adventures lately? What was it like? Did you go water skiing, skydiving, or mountain climbing? What really is an adventure? Adventure is defined as an exciting experience that can be risky and the outcome can be unpredictable. It has been a long time since the family has gone on an adventure. Someone suggested that the family go on a guided gold mining tour and with this tour are some gold mining adventures. When this was mentioned to the family, everyone got so excited and then everyone started checking their schedules so that they could go and enjoy in this gold mining camp which is also a family recreation place. To make a long story short, the family agreed to go to this camp in summer. The family made a reservation for four and got two cabins. They planned to stay in the place for a week and enjoy all the amenities the place could offer. So summer came, they visited the gold mining camp. The first thing they did was to sign up for the guided gold mining tour. The crew then took the family to an All-Day Adventure which began with a visit the Mokulmne Canyon. This place was once mined by the Forty-Niners and then they were brought to see the Placer Gold Mine Operation. It was in this place where they were also shown how to pan for gold. Then the family was brought to see their Wildlife and Mining Artifacts Museum and the ruins of the past. As they were walking toward the Mokulmne Canyon, they were told that they could enjoy other activities such as hiking in the trails used by the old miners also known as the 49ers, exploring miles of river and rafting, fishing for trout and German Browns in the river and swimming in the quiet, secluded swimming hole and diving from the natural rock formations around. The family could also collect rocks like jasper, jade, river rubies, arrowheads and quartz crystals. The family was told that they could also enjoy gold mining adventures such as panning for gold. Since they had no pans, they had to purchase the patented pans from the general store. If there were members of the family who wanted to go sluicing, then they could go because they had previously made reservations for the activity. The younger members of the family opted for outdoor adventures where they could roam around the place and go fishing. The eldest son opted to go dredging for gold. Everyone got to mine for gold each one chose a different process. They all went for the Saturday cook out and enjoy the New York Steak BBQ. At the end of the week, the whole family went home with a gold mining experience and happy. For more details, go to http://roaringcampgold.livejournal.com/1270.html
