Bonanza Opal Mine

Alyx in the hot springs pool
Trigger did great on her first big trip-
Alyx and dad-
Alyx after a long day of driving and digging-
This is where we camped- Free campground, hot springs pool, showers etc.Not a tree one though.
Wild donkeys are everywhere!

Yes, This is real- We topped off in McDermitt Nevada and paid $100 for 18.59 gallons of diesel.


Alyx and Ray Looking in the tailings- They both did great this day and found some beautiful opals!
