Well poop. I picked up some hours at work this next week.... didn't know at the time I was signing up for a 3am shift on Sunday. More money, but yet again bad timing. If you could push yer day trip to Saturday.. I'd totally be down. Was gunna go camping Friday/Saturday up at my endless but I could just make it into a day trip Friday after work - to free up Saturday... if you guys can do it then. If not however, I'll be going camping, so sooner the notice, the better. (I tend to check this site at least 30 times a day...exaggerated...sure.. ;) Maybe I'll also try n give you a buzz tonight.

I don't think I will make it this time Caveman. I am going to take the opportunity to meet Emac on Saturday. Then on Sunday I will have to do some follow up work near the claim. I hope you find what you are after. Good Luck!

Thanks, Denise & Jessie! I will both be safe and have fun. I do not plan on being out there for more than 3 - 4 hours. Speed scouting, to be sure! MikeS - have fun with EMac, Jessie, and whoever else gets out there to join you - find some color! Colin, we talked on the phone, and if you are able to get there on Sunday, that would be great, if not... there's always another time to go. If the weather holds, there may be a November field trip in order - I will keep you guys posted. One good thing about November.... no snakes! Not that we saw any the last time, but you never know....

Welp, can't get out of work early... out at 1030am... for Crusty to pick me up, in more or less Littleton, from the Springs, and then round about it back south to the dig spot... ain't worth it. More time driving than digging. Is what it is and ain't what it ain't. Next time, hopefully this year before the snow.
 Would love to meet you guys. Good luck on the dig. Colin -------------------- - You Rock! (Literally)

Had a few chores added to to "Honeydo" list....  Then the horses got out through a gate I left open.....  Filled a bucket with grain and they came runnin' back in, but that was an extra 15 minutes...Didn't find the mine, or much of anything, but did find a few more washes to check out.... tough to get into them, but they look interesting.... also found a wash that skirts back behind the private land.... THAT might be worth checking out, it's big and flows to the big wash by the road. See you guys on Sunday! -------------------- Caveman

How many times more this year do you suppose you'll go out? I was just perusing Crusty's pics, and thinking about what I would take with me, what I'd need to get, and which pack to use.

I plan on meeting at the pullout we were at this last time... to get there, take 50 west through Canon City to Parkdale, turn left on CR 3, follow to where 3 splits off of Copper Gulch Road (to the south side of Royal Gorge), and stay left (on Copper Gulch Road). Go aprox 4.5 mils from the split ti a pullout on the right, and you will see my truck. See you there Sunday at 0900!
