We went on a little get-a-way with our good friends, the Berards. It was so nice to spend some time in the mountains exploring, fishing, playing games, and enjoying their company. The cabin we stayed at was within walking distance to this old gold mine. One afternoon we hiked to it. The boys were convinced if they looked hard enough they would find fortunes left behind. They did, indeed, find a few shimmering stones and filled their pockets full.
