Today we took a ride up the Bonanza Creek Rd. to check out the Dredge Number 4. It is 2/3 the size of a football field and 8 storys high. It floated on a pond of it's own making and was used to dig up gravel in the search for Gold. It was put into operation in May 1913 and continued off and on until 1959 and was electrically powered.

The Big Dredge Number 4.
Along the road up to the Dredge, we came across this little place called Claim 33 that has a little store and you can go goldpanning there as well. They had a very interesting collection of 'old' things.
