Rock Hounding in the Hills

Today we headed into the hills to find some gems. In order to get ready, we headed down the road to the Winery and did some wine tasting first. After checking out the local grape juice it was strap on the boots and head for the hills.

Drove ten miles down a gravel road across the dessert to an old abandoned mine. Picked through some rocks, but didn't find any precious gems. I was looking for gems that would be worth at least a million dollars. So I didn't collect any rocks. Saw another road runner and had the camera along this time, so I did get a few pictures. It was windy today and really only got into the mid 50's. So jackets were worn most of the day.

Tomorrow we head to Tucson AZ. Won't have Internet connectivity available, so it might be a couple days before I get back on line.
