Things you may find on a backcountry climb in Arizona
You might find a torquoise mine. All the big juicy specimens have been harvested but you could find rocks with bright trace minerals to take home. A great reminder of the adventure.
You may find inscriptions dating pretty far back from the miners that worked this claim.
If you looked really closely, you could find little creatures. Careful where you step and reach. Some of these creatures could be very dangerous if they get upset while others use camouflage as a form of defense.
If you dare venture into the mines, do so with caution and a good headlamp or two. Listen for creatures that dwell deep within the depths. Play the video below for an example of what you might see or hear. Thanks for reading the blog! Happy New Year!!
We've officially hung up our vagabond hats. We are back at work and are actually living in a house - not a tent.
But that doesn't mean we're not seeking out adventure whenever (and wherever) we can.
For those who just want to read about our 2,650-mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail, scroll down and check out our slideshows or go to the archives. We started the trailApril 29, 2008 and finished Sept. 25, 2008.
What's up with the blog slogan, anyway?
We don't intend to traipse around in Chanel and Christopher Josse duds, thank you.
We're talking about how we approach life, including the hard parts. We were inspired by Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction of all things. This explains it all.
