Ghost Towns & Rock Hounds





We picked the coldest day in June to visit Garnet Ghost Town.  While walking through the 30 preserved buildings we got snowed on!  It was the awesomest ghost town that we have ever been to and  it got even better when Maggie helped us find our first ever Letterbox.  After Joey fell in the mud we decided that a hike to the waterfall was out so we drove to Phillipsburg where we bought a bag of dirt that we searched through to find sapphires.  When it was all said and done we had a blast and found 88.64 karats of sapphires.  We are now officially addicted and planning our next trip back to buy another bag of dirt.
