Parker continues working on the Scribner Creek Claim far cut from season 4, but it runs out as he hits permafrost at the start of the season. The season 5 contract signed by Parker from Tony Beets requires that Parker install hydraulic riffles into Big Red. In season 5, Parker returns to Scribner early, to start melting permafrost in May. ![]() Late into the season, Parker's crew breaks the ripper on the D10 Dozer, and has no time to get a replacement in the time left in the season, so instead he obtains a monitor to melt ground by pressure washing it with water. Because of the time involved in transport, the crew can only process 1/3 the load from Fantasy-land that the closer cuts can provide. Fantasy Land is 1.5 miles away from the first two cuts and the washplant by road, required to transport paydirt in rock trucks over the bridge over the creek, taking 20 minutes a trip. Fantasy-Land lies under the old tailings from the old cut, as the tailings were piled atop of virgin ground. FantasyLand is further inland from the creek as the land close to the creek has already need dug up. In season 4, Parker opens 3 cuts, Scribner Creek Claim cut 1 near the creek, Scribner Creek Claim cut 2 farther from the creek, and needing to be thawed out, and Scribner Creek Claim cut 3 "Fantasyland" on the other side of the creek. ![]()
