Gold panning could not be a more useful thing to know how to do in these modern, economically unsteady times. Good thing Michael Orlove, the 2007 Alaska Gold Panning Champion (?!) will be giving free gold panning demonstrations and lessons at the annual Rock, Gem, and Craft Show happening on April 5th at Mt. Hood Community College, from 10 am to 3 pm. Seriously, get off of your iphone and get on this.
