A day in the desert

[schrackman]

Took some time today to go out and relax with a friend and do some prospecting for gold in Goler Gulch, Mojave desert. We didn't find any gold but at least I came home with a few pictures.

#1 My friend Randy up against some colorful mountains metal detecting at Nugget Flats.
#2 A 1930's era cabin and windmill at the mouth of Goler Gulch.
#3 An old "a-frame" just above the "living ghost town" named Randsburg. They used these rigs to lower miners straight down into the shafts. Just a tad too claustrophobic for me.
#4 Some old buildings in Randsburg get new faces. We always drive into this town after we get done prospecting to drink down an old-fashioned rootbeer float before heading home.
