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 Amethystguy,
Very cool book you got ahold of there. Keep that one around for sure. I would imagine that yes, there are still many active claims up there for many different goodies found in that area. Active claims have been in use up there since the late 1800's. Way up in altitude and very very steep conditions, be prepared for any weather any time of the year too. After some good research as to claims and locals, I bet one could find a spot to prospect on up there though. Just make sure not to accidentally be on someones claim(s).....they might get a tad irratated. Oh yea, go slow, pace yourself and remember to breathe .......it's very high altitude.
