Between cutting firewood, and gleaning the neighborhood citrus trees to give to the food bank, this is the first time I’ve had a chance to get out this month.

I decided Sunday would be a good day to prospect one of the many areas I have marked on my geology maps. This area caught my attention because of a nice fault line running through it, and also because of the various geological changes. It’s in a known gold district, but hasn’t seen very much activity (claim wise) over the years, so I figured maybe it’s time to give it a look see. There’s a producing gold mine about 1/2 mile NW of where my prospects are located. I’m thinking (hoping more like it) that maybe some of those veins from that mine (or possibly other unknown deposits) may have leached out in some of the areas I have marked to explore.


Anyway... here’s some video I shot of my day out... hope you all enjoy. Make sure to watch it in HD for the full effect.
:thumbsup:

Gotta love those Rokons, but they're sure hard on your kidneys...nice video. The ones I had, years ago, were powered by 10HP Chrysler Industrial 2-strokes. Never seen a machine that would go where those Rokons will go.

It took my pitiful ISP an hour to load this video all the way but it was worth it! I used to LOVE running around in the desert (literally) but never got to ride... much less on a Mule. Wow! What a POV. Just like being there, had a GREAT time with you even tho we found no gold. Go figure huh. :thumbsup:
Thanks!

Great fun watching. Nice bike! I miss riding in the desert. Like the fast all wheel drive ice chest! Is that a spot messenger?

Yep... SPOT messenger. If things go sideways and I get hurt, I just push a button and a helicopter comes and picks me up.
