Daniel's Report #2 A Golden Day!

The day began with fish fried golden brown.　 We ate 8 Crappie and 1 Bass.　 I think it was great!　 But Masa didn't like it, so he had potato soup.　 Next we got ready to go to the river and then to town.　 The river was warmer than yesterday, but still cold!　 Brrr!　We went into town to go to a gold mine tour and did some gold panning.　 In the gold mine, we went down 60 feet!　 It was was wild yet cool!　 It was 59 degrees Farenheit.　 It felt good!　 Our guide said that the third rail in between the tracks was for the electricity which ran the mine cars.　 There was a 100 feet of water down a 180 foot drop.　 In this mine was one of the largest gold veins in the world.　 It was the largest mine east of the Mississippi at the beginning of the 20th century.　 After we came out of the mine, we all panned for gold and each of us got about 11 peices of gold.　 We are rich, Yea!
