I filmed another one of my bad ideas! This time I decided to load a 1997 Seadoo GTX up with way too much stuff and head up the flooding North Saskatchewan River to camp overnight and dig for gold!
It was just pouring down rain for most of this trip, I was able to film in a few breaks in the weather and show a little gold mining. The water started the rise due to heavy rain upstream so I managed to get off the river just in the nick of time! I wonder what it was like for the old timers who didn't have a warm bed to drive home to and who needed every penny of gold they found to pay for just the basic necessities of life.
