    Finally found gold in California. An elderly man fought me for it but was able to fight him long enought to run away with it.
  • Settled down

    After all my traveling I finally decided to settle down. I made a good amount of money off of the gold I struck. It was just enough to make a house in Oregon and to start living off the land.
