ARFLYBOY Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi everyone, I have some family in Crestone Colorado. I plan on coming up some time in August. I plan on doing some prospecting up at Twin Lakes down to Buena Vista on the Arkansas River. Anyone knows a good place or places I can go dredge and high back there. I know there is a pay site at twin lakes but I want to try the river. Thanks in advance, and Im looking forward to meeting some of you guys and gals.

ARFLYBOY Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Going on my first prospecting adventure. Buena Vista bound, Packed my truck with everything from mining equipment to a photo and video showdown. Yes I even have a drone with me. Just arrived today in Salida to visit family. Be in Buena Vista just after noon tomorrow. Saw a lot today here and want to see a little more here tomorrow, besides Buena Vista is just 20 minutes up the road from here. I sure hope to meet up with Randy in the afternoon to discuss Tuesday and Wednesday prospecting adventure. Pictures and videos to come.

Many Thanks to Randy and John for the Old school taking the new school to school. LOL!! I learned a lot and that's why I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
