Hello Grubstake and All,

Just wanted to let you all know Leaverite and I decided to pull out of Mariposa around 8pm last night. I just got home about an hour ago. Going to get some sleep, and will post more about the California nugget hunting trip later tonight/early tomorrow at the latest.

This was one of my greatest prospecting trips ever!

Chat with you later,

Rob Allison

Rob... everyone... to have the joy of being around Gary, Dorthy, and Allan
is the real gold. Been there, Done that... My "backtrail" is now long and
twisty. I learned to avoid the cholla and to smell the flowers. To become in
tune with nature and to love and respect all of the "critters" who let me share
their habitat.

Best to All...

Hello Jim,

I would have to agree 100%. Gary, Dorthy, Uncle Allan and Jerry are hard company to beat. I had one, if not the best prospecting trips ever experienced and it had nothing to do with gold. The friendship, experience, memories and stuff I seen was priceless. I'm truly blessed I have such great friends in my life.

I just got word about Gary's wife, I hope everything turns out well. Dawn mentioned to me everything will be ok. I will say a special prayer for Gary and his wife tonight.

Take care,

Rob Allison
