This one.....
And this one....
Earlier that day.....
Sometimes its necessary to take a little road trip for some quality content for Steemit... and that’s exactly what I did!
What better to do on a Saturday then to go on an adventure. Past Gold Hill.....
Through the middle of nowhere
Breaking for lunch.
Take a photo for my friend @papa-pepper:
Back on the road, and finally arrived to meet this cool guy!
The town of Auburn California sprang up in 1848 at the beginning of the GOLD rush.
He was in the holiday spirit! A Santa hat for Mr. Chana!!
But thats not quite right, lets get this old school gold bug a REAL mans hat:
Mr Chana found some other cool stuff in his gold pan like... a goldmoney 18k gold card!
A 10g goldmoney GoldCube! ( read how to win one of these here: https://steemit.com/contest/@goldmatters/7qwmwo-win-a-10g-goldcube-from-goldmoney )
A Goldmoney hat!!!
Of course, being the ham he is, Goldmatters Jr. had to get in on the action:
There is actually quite a few cool things in Auburn, this is Gold Country after all! So there are gold themes everywhere. Including :
Gold panning magnets:
Random gold mining scenes :
Gold flake jars!!! ( I feel another Goldmoney Vs....... coming on like this one: https://steemit.com/money/@goldmatters/goldmoney-vs-goldschlager )
More gold mining related magnets:
In the heart of Gold Country, even the candy is gold!!
Later that evening, I saw that even the pizza stand referenced gold. No 10,000 BTC pizza in Auburn!
Visiting old timer gold miner Claude Chana was awesome. Spending the day in Auburn was great fun and completely worth the day trip.
I want to thank Claude and Goldmatters Jr. but most of all I want to thank Mrs. Goldmatters for always putting up with my crazy ideas. Honestly, without her none of this stuff would ever happen. She’s the most valuable thing in this world to me.
Thanks for reading everyone!

Great story @goldmatters (and Mrs. Goldmatters). We also like to take off on road trips.
It would be great to visit Auburn and all of the gold mining attractions and historical spots. I'd probably spend the whole day 😁 I'm jealous!
At least Claude was able to pan out a real Goldmoney card haha!
You would LOVE auburn @Jbcoin! I could see you running around town with your pick ax and shovel!
Haha...yep! Get arrested wearing my Goldmoney shirt though lol. National television exposure?
Haha! How did I miss this photo?
That is in the “unreleased” file :)
