Ernie knows the Fraser and maybe some others like Frank have seen the more placid stretches or even drove up to the canyon; it runs for 100 miles through the mountains, and is pretty awesome up close

which is why even house size rocks get moved around, even though the water is low where I was the other day, it's still 50-60 ft. deep but luckily the river cut through the canyon is as they say "carved in stone" and won't change for a long time but everything is slowly getting washed to the coast and what was there this year may be replaced by more; if there is more of the same, or you just look for it a little further up or down stream because it will fall out of the flow somewhere. And if you're lucky there is still a lot of gold in that thar river.

Absolutely beautiful.   I love good jade.  That location is always going to be recreating itself.  Year after year after year .. after the rains and floods.  Just think .. what's there you can't see yet :). Nice haul, nice rocks ..  nice you shared the pics.

I know this thread is almost a decade old, but this information is pertinent.

My sister runs a furniture shop in Seattle, and uses Greyhound to ship big pieces across the region/country. I don't know her exact calculus, but it seems reasonable enough that she does it often. This may be a way to ship heavier items without the big players, UPS, USPS, FedEx, or DHL...
