I finally have a minute to up date our blog with pictures from Doug's latest ATV ride. The fellows had a great day exploring for gold in two old mine shafts back in the Superstition Mountain foothills. Of course they didn't find any gold but Doug did bring back some pretty stones with copper in them. They left at 10 am and returned home about 4pm so had a good day exploring. They went through Queen Valley and then into the foothills to get to the old mines. Doug said a beautiful ATV trip and one I would have enjoyed. Talk about rubbing it in eh?
