Discovering a Gold Mine!



They believe they've discovered an abandoned gold mine!  They're afraid to go in because of the possibility of rattlesnakes! and probably spiders or gila monsters!

So what do these intrepid explorers do?  Send in a point man, er, girl.  Who's missing from this picture?  Well, as this was taken on my daughter-in-law's smart phone, I'm guessin' they sent in the big girl!

Where am I?  Babysitting a sleeping baby in the car, of course.  Isn't that what Granma's are for? 







Must have been cleared out by the point lady, huh?





But the honest-to-goodness gold mine is right around the corner.



See all those lines of quartz in the side of the mountain.  THAT'S your first clue that there's gold around.  The guy that first stumbled onto this must have been ecstatic!


But this one definitely belongs to someone - and the iron door blocking the entrance means business.  But it is a real live gold mine!  (Look at all of that quartz!)
