SHOT AT WHILE LOOKING FOR A GOLD CLAIM TO BUY


This river is the beautiful Umpqua River.  Friends, Rob and Allan, experienced  one of a gold prospector's worst fears here on this river.  Shots were fired at them (well over their heads). The two were making their way down the river to an area that was open to place a claim.  

Actually they didn't know if the area was open to claim or not, so they thought they'd go looking for gold claim markers to see if the area was open. (They couldn't get the BLM mining expert to return their calls. If they'd talked to the man perhaps this shooting could have been avoided.)

No one was hurt, but it rattled the friends. This shooting took the friends to safer gold prospecting areas: those open to the public. ... Have you had such an experience? Why not tell us about it, comment!
