That’s sounds insane. Insanely fun! Lol I’m glad I’m looking for garnets. most people I know just keep it as a cool memory and don’t try to sell flakes so if anything you’re guaranteeing that they make awesome memories and giving them the chance at feeling like a adventurer

I went to coos canyon with my family this past fall, I found an insane amount of garnets, I have a large mason jar full of just tiny garnets! The river is just large rocks, but if you dig them away you can find infinite tiny garnets and gold flakes!! I bought a pan and really want to go gold hunting this year!

Wow, you have been an excellent source of knowledge and inspiration. I even like that I’m already learning the lingo! I really like that it’s very trust oriented and climbers respect that, makes me feel better. The “I have your back 100% do you have mine” mentally gives a great feeling of teamwork and accomplishment.

I’ll have to check out the indoor place at Portland in a little while after exercising and getting ready :)

Did Zack suggest that lol, if not you’re swimming in friends. If you’re into podcast they had one called sleepy cabin, it’s pretty explicit, but if that’s what you like I recommend it, Corey, zach, Chris, and stamper use to live together and it’s cool to hear all the crazy stories

A thousand times yes. I’ve wanted to learn to scuba and mountain climb so it would be awesome to have a community to work with. Thank you for that man :)

I just got a gym membership and clothes today. I’d like to get more active and in shape (i weight 160 soaking wet) I’m planning on doing the Appalachian trail next spring!
