With "the Wife" in Vancouver for the day and night the kids and I, and cousin Madison, took Cohen's metal detector out again for some bush whacking fun. We headed up the Chilliwack River valley to Slesse Creek and to our disappointment there were some dingos shooting guns where we wanted to go so we hit up a different location. For this trip we also took the gold pan as I remembered reading something about how Slesse Creek branches off of some creeks/rivers that flow down Mount Baker so with my limited knowledge of how gold is formed and knowing that Mount Baker is a dormant volcano I figured there should be some flecks of gold in there. So we spent some time bush whacking, gold panning and playing with the metal detector. Pictures below...

| Our speck of gold in the middle of the pan worth nothing but the kids still like to find it |
Who needs Mom around when you can have such a great day out with Dad (and even find gold).
