Gold Mining Adventures in the Camp on the Mokulmne River
By: Roaringcampgold.com
Roaring Camp is a gold mining camp on the Mokulmne River California. It is a camp that is specially tailored for family recreation. It was once mined by the Forty-Niners and was so inaccessible that most of its gold still exists. At Roaring Camp, guests are invited to see the gold mine operation and are allowed to mine for their own gold by panning, sluicing, dredging and dry washing. This place is so rich in natural resources that there are a number of interesting activities for everyone in the family. In the Mokulmne River Canyon there are three forks of the Mokulmne River that meet making it a river of unsurpassed natural beauty where the water is so clear that fish and tadpoles swim. There are also waterfalls and rock formations that go as high as forty feet! . There is a quiet, secluded place called a “swimming hole” where guests may go for a swim and varying sized rocks which is ideal for diving – for those who dare. Aside from diving and swimming, families may make reservations for the use of a cabin or a tent and camp. While camping they may have a picnic by the river where tables and a fire ring are set. Guests also have miles to river to explore, go rafting and fish for Rainbow Trout or German Brown. Families may even go hiking and enjoy trails leading down to the Mokulmne River. Since there are miles of unexplored canyon, you may be able to find quartz crystals, jasper, jade and river rubies. Then on Saturday Night, there is a Cookout Dinner which is a five hour trip into the canyon. Dinner is a hearty New York Stead BBQ. This dinner would cost non-campers a fee of $50 and is free for campers. As this dinner is part of the guided tour, guests are brought to the Museum, Camp and the Placer Gold Mine where the guide will also show you how to pan for gold. Now, the gold mining adventures California has begun. It all starts with a trip to the Placer Gold Mine where guests are invited to mine for their own gold. Visitors may also obtain gold by dredging which may be done with the use of gold dredge. This is done by a machine that extracts gold from sand, gravel and dirt using water and mechanical methods. The other method of obtaining gold is through the sluice method. This is done when gold bearing gravel piles are dug off the bedrock and are made to run through the screening plant to remove the larger stones. Piles are limited and advance reservations have to be made. This method will cost $325 per person plus cabin rent. The fee also included all mining equipment and help from Roaring Camp’s crew. Have fun and enjoy gold mining adventures at Roaring Camp Mining Co.
