Well, here we are at the Arc Store Paradise and looking forward to participating in the Gold Nugget Days celebration. I’ve lived here since 2006, and again will be running down the Parade route with the local Chapter 711 of E Clampus Vitus. I found out shortly after arriving here that the local “Clampers” were involved with the Gold Nugget Days celebration when I went to the Gold Nugget Museum to look at the local history.
While talking with a very nice museum volunteer, I told him of my exploration of the Mohave Desert mines in earlier years. We discovered that we were both Clampers and he told me not to miss the Gold Nugget Parade. Shortly after finding a nice place in the shade to watch the parade, a local chapter representative noting my Clamper attire, asked me if I’d like to take part in the parade. Of course I was flattered and said yes – little did I know what they do in the parade. I haven’t run that much for “photo ops” in years and heaven knows how many times my picture was taken.
