My FIRST day as a member of the GPAAMy FIRST day as a member of the GPAA 
I drive into the Mojave with a map
I have my (used 2 hours?) new to me “151” drywasher. I picked it up the night before.
5AM: Drive 3 hours to Mohave. Found the site no problem.
Looked like most the people were just getting up…8 AM Saturday.
Talked with Mr. Pat Keene, got the lay of the land and went to setup my digs.
On the second bucket thru the “151” ---BANG…motor still running…no air! ! !
The FAN came apart in many pieces 
Butch with the pan work
Butch did get some color. And I have some cleanup concentrate to work.
Guess I will now get to meet the parts department at Keene.
Oh well, better luck next time
