The Golden Nugget
Hi Jo,
Great run today and an amazing story. Some years ago my father died and he left me a gold nugget that I have worn around my neck every day since his passing. Unfortunately today during the run I lost the nugget either on the run or when I went into the creek afterwards. I had no idea where to start my search. The creek bottom as you know is about six inches of silk. I am not sure why I even went down to the creek knowing all to well that the likelihood of ever seeing the nugget was next to impossible. As I looked at the pool we all had a dip in I saw a gold sparkle on a rock. There was my gold nugget waiting for me to retrieve it. I looked up to the sky and thanked my father. Miracles do happen. ---Dave
