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?

I was more worried about my dogs.... I didn't know they were there (I knew something was up, 'cause the horses were looking that way) until Molly started woofing at one of them and I heard him cursing. Then I saw the smoke pole..... realized they were hunting (right off the pasture fence, something they are supposed to be 100 yards away from - active pasture), and confronted them. One - I don't hunt this property (a promise I made Karen), nor do I allow anyone else to. They said right back that I had no say as it was BLM. Then it got ugly.... and I had to get Molly back to the house (before she bit one of them) and go back out to them - I should have made those phone calls first. I mean, what the heck - a cabin, out-buildings, a solar/wind station, and an active, fenced-off pasture with horses on BLM???? ANYONE WITH A LICK OF COMMON SENSE..... well, outta staters with old maps just seem to think they have the right. The old guy did cool their jets pretty quick when they started puffing up to commence kicking my butt.... Glad he had a brain, and started listening. They got their info from a friend of a friend... you know how that goes. They didn't even have their info right - my property was not even marked as BLM on their map - they were just going on someone's word. Last time I confront someone alone and unarmed.... They are lucky it was me - there are some really nasty, unfriendly property owners out here, and it would have gotten really ugly - for them - if they had run into one of those guys.
