Okay, many of you may be asking.........So where should we stay?
Well that is gonna' depend on what you want to explore/prospect for.
Follow YOUR INTERESTS.
Ifin' ya' want to prospect for........
agates, geodes, aqua marines, smokey quartz, garnets, you will want to make plans to stay somewhere near/or between Buena Vista and Del Norte (hwy 285).
Ifin' ya' want to prospect for.........
topaz, geothite, fluorites, amazonites, smokey quartz, you will want to make plans to stay somewhere near/or between Fairplay and Lake George. (hwy 24, 9, or 285)
Ifin' ya' got the gold fever....bad!
You may want to make plans to stay in or near Buena Vista, Fairplay, or Idaho Springs.
The towns mentioned will still leave you with some short drives to the digs but if you are the early bird on plans you have some info to chew on.
This should give you a general idea for checking on lodging etc.
Keep in mind though.....
We are planning on talking to business owners very soon....hopefully we can find a few business willing to support the event with discounts?
We'll keep ya' posted!
