Thirsty Beast | Yukon Gold

sunrise on Moose Creek and it’s day two
for Ken’s loosing the Narrows with the
Beast one machine one trommel loose
loose nice get as many yards to the
plant as we can
ken counts on finding heaps of gold here
now the pressures on to dig it up before
winter shuts him down if we could stick
around an ounce an hour now for the last
little bit here at least that or more
we’d be pretty happy kid has Guillaume
run the Beast I rely a lot on Gil when
I’m not there he’s my eyes so it’s all
about this loose get the gold in the box
and then I try to get as much as we can
before we leave though within a few
minutes there’s already a problem the
water slows to a trickle and stops
Martin eyes the problem a pumps clogged
at the bottom of the creek they need
water and the Beast is thirsty the water
was poking the stick beside where the
suction is sitting and I think it’s
getting buried and mother yeah this
pretty deep Dennis tries to lift the
pump nozzle with the power winch but
something’s loose in the motor you went
up and held the end of that motor in so
it’ll Drive I might be able to pick it
up
pull it together out with Ken out yeom’s
in charge it’s on him to fix the problem
but one slip means a 20-foot fall in the
icy water
