Here are some pics that Caleb took of our excellent adventure. (I almost stepped on the box turtle, not even seeing it. Caleb was walking behind me and spotted it. I am glad we didn't encounter any rattlesnakes.)
And even when you're in a pine and hardwood forest with laurel thickets along the stream, native yucca on a steep rocky hillside, a box turtle, a black snake, minnows, and fresh water snails, there is no telling what kind of fauna you might see when you get back out onto the highway.
Sounds like a unique day trip. Panning is a treasure hunt. Some times it works sometimes not. I actually did find some color in Bonanza creek in the Yukon. It was so small I had to pick it out with tweezers. hahaha
