Outing
Had a great time at French Post Park near Delphi, Indiana.
Had around 7 miners plus wives and kids. Rock Creek had fine gold in the
Gravel, couple of tiny colors per pan. The park is a beautiful place along the
Wabash River. Camping (Primitive) allowed. Many thanks to Chuck for finding
the place and making arrangements. Interested
in going there sometime? See Map.
