Au Mojave Event Reports

Au Mojave Prospectors had their Memorial Day Outing on Saturday May 27th. We all met at King Richards ranch at Coolgardie off of Copper City Road. From there we took a bumpy road to Opal Mountain, over an hours drive away. There was a steep climb to get up the hill to where some interesting looking rocks and minerals were. We filled a few buckets with some prospects and brought them down to where we parked. After exiting the mountain area on an almost vertical climb, with some of us without 4 wheel drive, I decided to look into buying stock in Toyota. My 2WD Tundra is showing its' age, with over 16 thousand miles. After returning to Root Hill, we had our BBQ Pot Luck dinner and all ate our fill. To those who could not attend, you missed a great opportunity for mineral hunting. On our next outing we will probably go to a local private claim, and maybe we will still have access to Joes' trommel. This hand built machine must be seen to be believed.
