In June 2007 I got some time to travel CO on my DS bike. Two weeks on the road. On my 1st day out i met a prospector/miner and as we got to talking we decided to dig for a day on his claims. Heres a couple of picts, and i ended up with some nice faceted blue topaz for the effort I do many other DS type tours of shorter that ofter focus on mineral prospecting.

best of both worlds!

Thanks for that great post JD! You sound like the kind of prospector that all of us want to hear more from!

Please show and tell us more adventures!

Thanks,

Looks like a blast........... Colorado is a great place to explore!!

Killer pegs!!!
I think those look like some nice digs......but where's the pics of the topaz?

Nice pic's, looks like it was a fun adventure.
