- My Gold Prospecting and Mining Pages (mdpub.com)
One of my many hobbies is recreational gold prospecting and mining. I’ve been gold panning, metal detecting and sluicing on my vacations for many years. It’s a lot of fun. It’s great exercise. I get to do it in really scenic locations, outside in the fresh air and sunshine. I have even found some gold. This page links to accounts of my various adventures in pursuit of the shiny yellow stuff. More will be added in the future.
- Beacon Food Forest (Wikipedia)
Beacon Food Forest is a 7-acre food forest in development adjacent to Jefferson Park on Beacon Hill in Seattle, Washington in the vicinity of 15th Avenue South and South Dakota Street. As the area sits on land owned by Seattle Public Utilities, it is believed to be the largest food forest on public land in the United States. The project also has more traditional private allotments, similar to those in other local P-Patch gardens.
