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?

Hi, again!
Itīs been a while since I wrote something in this thread. In spring 2014 I planned to at least give Mt Antero a try. I got a lot of good advice on this forum, and also got more information than I could handle from BLM (Very service minded guys over there). As it turned out, 11 days of one a clock showers prevented med from doing more than just pass by on the highway, while Mt Antero laughed at me! I also ran down quite a few other mountains shortly after having lunch next to a mine during that period (Zuni mine for instance), but those are other stories. Iīve just booked flights for next summers geology road trip, and I want to try again. Iīve read reports on the whole mountain of Mt Antero being claimed (Is that even possible, in a Natl. forest?), and that there arenīt much of Mt White left either. So, Iīm looking for a plan B and C, if it turns out I canīt even climb the foot of either mountain with a hammer. My question therefore is, how about Mt Princeton? Iīve also read reports mentioning Mt Baldwin, which should be close to Baldwin lakes, but I canīt find any peak with that name. |
