Then back to Chicken on the 4th of July for a quick visit at the annual 4th of July party. The house was still on the market and I had access so I put a cot in a room and spent a couple days checking with the realtors, paying bills, and getting a few supplies. Then I loaded up my camp and hit the road for Anchorage on July 1st. I went and saw the owners of the claims on upper Jack Wade Creek and cut a percentage deal with them for detecting on their claims. It was the end of June and since I was camping out there was only so much I could get done with my satellite phone. (Althought the food is pretty good at Chicken Gold Camp) If i ever go back I will stay at Walker Fork Campground. It would have been a funny video and I am sure i made the fastest recon of the mouth of Jack Wade Creek that has ever been done! I literally HAD to keep moving.i broke a branch out of a bushy tree for a mosquito swatter, went to the creek, swatting the whole time and couldnt even set the swat down long enough to get a panful of river gravel. That turned out to be a BIG mistake!! -Īfter taking that shower with the flowery smelling shampoo the mossies made a beeline to me!!! I went up the road a bit to a turnout and decided walk over and see what Jack Wade was all about. It is a beautiful setting there on the river. I drove on up to Walker Creek Campground and was very impressed. Well one day when I had already put in my day at Chicken and after taking a shower I hit the road to explore. I was staying a Chicken trying to highbank without a whole lot of results.just picked the wrong spot. I was working at the VA in Anchorage and got 2 weeks off to come and play. I met you there at Chicken in 2013 i think Steve.
