Now, at first, the gold prospectors were only thankful and just totally psyched that Chief Yure had found them and given them this campsite. voice-verified

I mean, this was great. voice-verified

And so they had no problem agreeing to wait until the spring to finally leave. voice-verified

But now, after several weeks of being kind of trapped in this camp, the whole group was really starting to get restless. voice-verified

They were worried if they didn't leave soon, there'd be no more gold for them to mine. voice-verified

And for Israel specifically, there was even more pressure on him to go out and find gold, because he had told his family that this would be his last treasure hunting adventure ever. voice-verified

And so he really couldn't go home empty-handed. voice-verified

He literally needed the gold in order to continue to survive and take care of his family. voice-verified

So when Alfred stood up and broke the kind of tense silence and said to Chief Uray, You know, thank you for your concern, but I am gonna leave early, and I just hope others will come with me. voice-verified

You know, at that point, Israel saw the conviction in Alfred, and Israel really felt like he did need to leave now. voice-verified

He needed to get that gold. voice-verified

And so Israel said, You know what? voice-verified

I'll go with you as well. voice-verified

And then after Israel said he would go, four other gold prospectors also volunteered to leave early. voice-verified

Chief Yurei could tell he was not going to change any of these guys' minds. voice-verified

And so even though he felt like this was a terrible idea, he shifted his focus from trying to stop them to just trying to give them as much information as he could about the area they were going to go into. voice-verified

And so he called all the volunteers who'd be leaving early over to him. voice-verified

And then Chief Yure drew a map in the dirt on the ground. voice-verified

And he told Alfred and Israel and the other four volunteers that you have to follow the river out of here. voice-verified

It'll bring you to this mountain range called the San Juan Mountain Range. voice-verified
