Hidden Idaho History: Private Yankee Fork Gold Dredge Tour!

Hidden Idaho History: Private Yankee Fork Gold Dredge Tour with a Naughty Twist!

We went off the grid and deep into Idaho’s Challis National Forest—with no cell service and only a prayer in our GPS! Thankfully, we didn’t get lost before meeting up with our friends from @MooreToLifeOutdoors who gave us an unforgettable PRIVATE tour of the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge.

Michelle’s dad and grandfather actually worked on this dredge, so we got a behind-the-scenes tour loaded with family history, untold stories, and hilarious moments you won’t hear on the public walk-through.

Oh, and wait until you hear about the “wenches” and “pimps” that made this gold rush machine go—we couldn’t stop cracking up!

    Idaho was beautiful! Hot springs were awesome and the Moore’s are pretty awesome too!

    There is still more gold in Idaho, than in all of Ft. Knox!
    You know, when I miss you guys, I just have to turn on a YouTube video and see my friends. ❤

    One of these days, we are gonna find us a bunch of gold! We can spend the night there to find out if there are ghosts, if you want!😂
