Some years back ('81?) I spent a few weeks on the American River, back then 
there were lot's of people gold mining full time (placer gold). Anyway, 
once a month or so they would catch a ride up the hill to the hwy & hitch 
into Sacramento. They would sell the gold, go shopping and come back. After 
the party they would start the trip up or down the river to their claim 
with their 'supplies'. All I remember are these skinny guys heading out 
with large paper shopping bags full of ramin noodles.
