Made a deal with guys if we spend a couple days just hiking around the desert, visiting mines. half the day the other half digging and prospecting.
here are some pics of our walkabout to the Old Sweede mine, a visit to our crystal dig got a few water clears and some small clusters, some shots from the top of the Eastsides.

Great pics, and some nice crystals too!

If that was an abandoned area, did you take that old icebox home with ya?
They sell quite well, especially when restored, or make it electric and store
a keg in it!

Never aquired a taste for Scotch, tasted like 12 year old turpentine.

I prefer tequilla from our friends south of the border, preferably Gusano Rojo. 100 percent blue agave, worm in the bottom, and less than a quarter of the price of the yuppie brands.

With time being our most precious commodity and Hardrock ? well its just hard work, we are just trying to knock out as much prospecting as we can before I get to Damn old to walk in any more !
No time for drinking right now, we will have that hullaballoo when we get our pile finished and our mill built.
Sorry for the light, carbide what can I say.

NEWS UPDATE; Congress goes on vacation from doing nothing - We decided to not like Russia again - killed a couple more enemies with drones and they are
pissed - Lindsay Lohan will maybe get re-habbed this time - Pat and Vanna White still spinning the wheel - in short, nothing happening - keep on
digging and good luck!

look us up when you are out this way we can go look at some rocks!
That sounds like fun, my primary interest in the area is swing'n and I wish I were out there now but the detectors do not like the extreme heat. I wish you all well and the best of luck....Rob

I would have picked up that cooler.
Even if I had to make a sled of some kind and push it down that mountain.
