These are pictures taken on a trip to Mt. Antero, Colorado to prospect for gemstones. Tom McKinnon and I decided to go
even though it was fall. Some snow had already fallen. You can see we didn't to do much prospecting.
 The snow was getting to deep for our atv's and this the beginning of the rougher section of the road, too.
 We returned to the vehicle and loaded up. We went to the town of St. Elmo and visited an antique store. We both purchased
 a few souvenirs and soft drinks before returning to our homes.
