Bob - GPAA Outing at Loud Mine, GA '07.
Oct. 2007.
I had the opportunity to attend the GPAA Outing over at Loud Mine, GA. This was the first GPAA outing I attended, and I must say it turned out to be a super days. The sun shined every day but each morning greeted us with a covering of frost as the temps hovered around 28 degrees. Afternoons would hit the upper 50�s so it was just right for feeding the highbankers in the common operation.
Here�s a few Photo�s from the three days there, with shots of the gold I got.
