Yuma sunset


Sometimes the sunsets and sunrises are gorgeous.  All it takes is a few clouds in the sky and the usual dust in the air .  This creates the canvas for the setting sun upon which to paint an amazing scene.  It rained a few days later and there goes our hope to do any gold prospecting with our dry washer.  So why not use gold prospecting equipment that uses water.  You would think that would be the logical next choice.   The ground is too wet to use a dry washer but there are no sources of running water to run water based equipment.  You have to recirculate water from a tub of water through the equipment which quickly becomes a muddy nightmare.   

Our truck was in the shop for several weeks getting new injectors, etc.  Now that we have it back we should at least be able to go out metal detecting and do a few more interesting 4 wheeler trips.  The rain we had should also provide some great blooming desert pictures soon.
