    So we arrived in the camp in California adn we were amazed at the amount of people that are looking for gold. So we walked around to look at all of the places to set up camp. When we find a good place to put are camp up we set it up. Then the next day we started looking for all of the gold. Trying to find gold is a hard process to find gold. You have to go to the stream and put your bowl in the mud in the stream to get the gold out.
