Panning for Gold ~ California Gulch ~ Leadville Colorado ~ Strike it Rich?

California Gulch 

Looking for a strike?

Or simply an afternoon 

of fun with the kiddos?

Panning for gold,

though not my idea

of the ideal job,

is the perfectly, touristy

thing to do when visiting Colorado.

I have no idea how someone could dedicate their life to such back breaking work...

but gold panning does make for an afternoon of fun.
