Has GPAA ever considered a program to link GPAA members looking for a different experience with small scale mine operators. There are lots of us from the east that vacation out west that would be willing to provide free labor in exchange for the experience of being on a real operation. GPAA's role could be as simple as providing the forum for the parties to connect and maybe develop a liability disclaimer for members to sign that protect the mine operator. Just an idea to throw out there that might help some small scale miners and provide a positive experience for some of us that are looking for a more structured prospecting adventure. GPAA club outings and shows don't always jive with vacation schedules. Thanks for all that you do, Tim Paulus
