I had quite an easy day. I had nothing to do other than spend my time taking shots along the Little North Santiam and Cedar Creek. That’s in contrast to the folks who were gold panning at Three Pools. I don’t know if they find much, but you’ve got to hold out hope that you’ll be the one who succeeds in finding a big nugget. It seemed like an interesting thing to do. I wouldn’t mind trying it if I lived up here. Of course I expect that most of the time it’s just hard work with little payout. Maybe I would start off panning and then a few hours later realize that I had just been sitting on a rock or log next to the creek absorbing the scenery and daydreaming.
