Hey guys long time no see..CP and Mrs. CP...as I was in the mtns. of North carolina this last weekend I went to a mineral museum which had lost of books...now 90% of all rock and min. books just repeat the same thing..so they get nary a glance from me...well this time I noticed one book way in the back in the corner.."whats this" I say..."golly gosh darn lookie here" ...looks like a Bible but not just any old bible the "Mt. Antero Bible"(comparing this find to something as good as the Bible:)) well heck ya..this is an awesome book..extremely in-depth..well written..all the info you could ever need..it's older written in the 80's but still an excellent read...what is the collecting status on Antero and White mtns. now? Are there still large lode claims filed on those molybdenum areas? any other info you can provide?

5 foot aquas..what are you talking about dude...anybody can talk a big game but you have to back it up..I wonder how you found these "5 foot aquas" but i have not seen them at the Denver show, the min. rec., or heard pete Modreski mention them..oh well..you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk..
Mikey I heard and saw pics of you and Dick's trip to the blue wall..didn't pan out as we all hoped..you need to keep at it..still have a month or two of good collecting time -------------------- Amethystguy cometh and the amethystguy taketh away

There was plenty of rock with blue in it, but the granite seemed to be more gray than the classic Antero white. I think maybe it was a bit too low on the mountain. The blue wall was indeed pretty to see, and I would still be interested to see if anything turned up if you broke it up a bit, but I didn't want to do that without Dicky there (I was up by myself at the time). Still had a great time on the mountain, picked up a couple small aqua crystals over in the old California Mine tailings, and loaded a few nice big "yard" rocks into the back of my jeep. Wanted to poke around the top of Antero some, as it was snowed over on my prior trip, but the stormy weather kept me away this time. As they say, I'll be back! If anyone ever wants to take a trip up, I'd be happy to provide a ride up! |
