A view from above

The views from the top are spectacular, it's hard to see our rig with the other tiny specs in the distance but we know where it is and can hardly believe how small it all seems from up here

The one place Left we have yet to explore are the mountains we enjoy just to our west. So with the promise of 80 today, it was time to grab our walking sticks, put on our hiking boats and bring several bottles of water.

The area is home to many small mines but Gary couldn't tell what the miners were looking for, could be gold or turquoise or some other mineral, we are left wondering. The higher we climb, the greater the diversity in the rock formations. Some of the quartz are no longer stones but large boulders and the ground sparkles with fools gold, or is it real gold? What we do know is no ones getting rich so today, we will enjoy our hike in the sparkles.
