Eddie,
Thanks for posting this! Man, Mel can wheel - very impressive! We saw your posts about Little Sluice closing on Facebook and Vince, Jim, and I decided to bomb up there late on Wednesday night. We got to Little Sluice a little after 0800 on Thursday morning (09.27.12), and we thought we would have a whole day to play around on the sluice box, but we were 12hours too late!
There were two El Dorado Sheriff's Deputies there and they had closed down the trail because some yahoos had been posting that they were going to Occupy Little Sluice. Both Deputies were great guys, and wheelers, but there was no way they could let us run Little Sluice. I'm pretty bummed that I did not get a (second) chance to run Little Sluice as it was, but I'm thankful that you went there and documented it - thanks!
Oh, great video by the way.
Dave
