Prospecting the Area




Jim has been using his metal dector to try to find gold. The areas we check out don't really have any old artifacts to find so we look for gold. We found a few microns of gold by doing some panning. We got all excited but haven't been able to find anything worth putting into a vial -- YET!
I had to take a picture of the poor Gila River. It flows through the valley here in Wellton -- I think it starts somewhere up in the northern part of the state -- and eventually dumps into the Colorado river. They tell us that last spring it was so full it almost spilled over the road. Hard to believe.
We've had a little cold snap -- only in the 50's during the day and slightly below freezing for a few nights. Brrrrrr -- It should warm up by the end of the week back into the 70's.
