Another beautiful day in the desert. This trip was to Calico to collect silver lace onyx. While it was a very steep, semi-rugged climb to the top, once there, the view and the collecting was amazing. There was plenty of material to be picked up. We were joined by a few guests who really enjoyed themselves as well.
