Illegal diseases crossing the border.....thanks Obama...

I'm sure you're right... like I said it was a pretty serious thing and I never got to see a doctor and I'm still kicking, so...

The mine site is remote enough and of course is very dangerous, so we have two private ambulances parked up at the mine in case of an accident. And of course we have EMTs and paramedics.

I would rather be panning for gold in Alaska any day but somebody has to be grandpa....

lol, you're lucky, T. We don't pan for gold, but you knew that. We've dug a 1/2 mile deep & wide pit in the ground, and we have a heap leach. Then all the material goes to the crusher, then to the mill.

Yeah modern goldmining is rather aggressive to say the least..

Is this the place you are at ?

Yeah, it is pretty aggressive, but less so than dredging.

No, we're not on the map, but basically it's way off the Steese Hwy NE of Fairbanks sort of near Chatanika.
