Originally I liked Todd. Got to really dislike him and wish him misfortune. Sadly he will drag Dave (gone), Jim Thurber, Freddie Dodge with him.
He could have stayed in the Klondike , Alaska and made a bunch of money but being greedy he has frittered away money, time, etc. looking for ‘El Dorado’. And father Jack is a joke.
Parker Schnabel is turning into a little tyrant.
Tony Beets is pretty cool.
Liked the Dakota boys.
I think of the Hoffmans as the Wrong Way Corrigans of gold mining.
If Freddie Dodge can overcome an apparent cancer diagnoses will be alright. Fred is one of the best gold prospectors out there.

I agree about Todd. I really can’t stand him anymore. Making that 100 ounce bet with Parker was stupid but that’s arrogant Todd for you.
Parker reminds me of me growing up driven to succeed. He has made his fair share of mistakes along the way but he seems to learn from them as I did.
You’re right, Parker can be a little tyrant but so can Tony Beets and I also like Beets. My guess is having hundreds of thousands, if not millions, on the line in overhead can make anyone a little on edge. I give both of them a break with what they are risking.
