Meet to depart at 9 AM (local Arizona time) Griffin Road and I-40 (Going toward Kingman.) Passenger vehicle okay (no low riders, use common sense!!!) Of course bring your lunch, fantastic attitude and plan to have an incredible time. We are going into Walnut Creek Wash...where some very nice quartz crystals and black tourmaline have recently been found. For the energetic folks...there is quite a hike, rising elevation of about 1000 feet in a mile to find the best 'stuff'!
Also there are some great Suararo Cactus out there...a bit of trivia for you:
The Saguaro often begins life in the shelter of a "nurse" tree or shrub which can provide a shaded, moister habitat for the germination of life. The Saguaro grows very slowly -- perhaps an inch a year -- but to a great height, 15 to 50 feet. The largest plants, with more than 5 arms, are estimated to be 200 years old. An average old Saguaro would have 5 arms and be about 30 feet tall.
Please RSVP Bob!
