Today is the BIG DAY when we are to hunt opals with Steve. He told us to meet him at 6:30 am so we were up and at the meeting point by 6:20. Steve arrived at 8:35. some of our friends from Utah joined us - Clyde, Doyle & Sue, and Kathy. We drove 7 miles up a cowpath to the mines. We went from 3,000' elevation to 6,000. Had a good time and had unbelievable veiws! Steve then came to the RV and visited until 8:30 p.m. He brought Bud a couple knives he'd made and Bud gave him a bunch of wood and rocks.........be sure to check the pictures.
