clink needs to make sure and plant some extra beans in his saddle bags or he's going to feel terribly left out around the fire.

F4, Mj,and LEFH we are checking out the Clear Creek area this weekend. Permits are required for access to the serpentine area. Will give a report on what we find.

Paranoia is also required. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

We'll do our best not to inhale

We'll shudder from the heat, look for minerals among the hydrothermal deposits, caress the state rock (serpentinite damnit!), reminisce about the good old days (environmentally) and contribute to climate change both on the trail and around the campfire...er...ring.

Got my hand lens and rock hammer ready

Nice to hang out for mealtimes and around the propane campfire with the Cooks.

The hand lens was cool.

The Tootacabra is real and smelly and lurking nearby!

I was surprised Clear Creek had a steady flow. We paid our permit fee online and called on the way for the gate code. Rock hounding along the creek was great, especially with JC(The geology teacher) along. Hiking Goat mountain was stiff(We earned our beer) but great views. Looking forward to more camping/geology trips.

Johnny's first guess of JC's age was 83

Other than that his math skills were good for a seven year old.

Johnny was coughing some,
JC asks "Do you smoke?"
Johnny- "No."
JC- "Well, you should, you already have the cough."

We took Gloria road back. Johnny crashed hard for an hour. First thing when he got home was to hop on his bike(which he just learned to ride) for 15 minutes before coming in to finish off the Mac n' cheese leftovers from camping. KC told us about how the drool inducing casserole form of the dish is prepared.

Nose in Oats, for the name dude.

Clink, all that matters is did you find gold.

No gold there - only the mercury to refine it. Lots of asbestos and overzealous regulations by raging environmentalists.

On the other hand - you could look for Tiburcio's treasure and there were several X's in the sky created by criss-crossing of the numerous con trails

Tubercios treasure is under the monolith.

That’s why they brought the condors back....to guard it.

Yes, my buddy who used to take me out that way said “not good for riding when dry due to the asbestos.

The good news is the type of asbestos in the area is chrysotile. The bad stuff is crocidolite.
If anyone is interested - here is part of a scientific article with some eye opening stats and no axe to grind..

Well, we just need to know where the gold is, that's all that matters.

I am 100% convinced Tuburcio's Treasure is in the Monument.

Quest for mud?

Tiburcio’s treasure IS the monument!

Heard you got the strap off. Bike riding? The world is your oyster!

Exactly.

Although it's been a PARK for over five years now.

Joshua Tree National Park since what, 1992?

Should we head back down to the Monument?

mungeclimber · « **Reply #916 on:** October 30, 2018, 08:19:00 PM »

Omg! Monument!!!! Heh

Which one? At this rate were going to see the 4 presidents in granite.

F4? · « **Reply #917 on:** October 30, 2018, 09:15:48 PM »

It will always be a monument to me.

Yes Munge, I can ride my bike and do almost everything.
Climbing end of December.

Waiting to see if Ethan and his crew post some pics from yesterday. They had a fancy camera rig. We sent them up to start at Spikes Peak and suggested they wander past Burgundy and toward the Sponge for sunset.
