Round Mountain...& oops

Hello,
Just a quick post, we went to Round Mountain today (Sun. 1/20) and while enjoying the scenery and trying to find some dry washes for prospecting and bringing home samples, I managed to lose my camera, so no pics to share 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢.

We had such a great trip, saw our first javelinas (four of them ran across the trail), two hawks, two jackrabbits, one roadrunner and lots of beautiful scenery.....I took some shots of Round Mountain and the surrounding area....

We headed back home and when we unpacked our gear, I asked Darrel, hey, do you have the camera in your pocket and he replied, no, you had it and didn't give it back to me.... so I have no idea what happened.

I took the pics, must have laid down the camera as I ate a granola bar (I thought I handed it back to Darrel to put in his coverall pockets), we dug some more dirt and lugged a couple of buckets to the ATV and then headed back.  I didn't take any more pictures or even think about the camera....until we got back to the RV.

Bless Bob's heart he it going to take us back out along the same trail to Round Mountain to see if we can find what might have happened to the camera.  It is a really long shot, I'm sure and it could have fallen out along the way back home .... if I could remember any more details it would probably help track it down...and of course, someone else might have stumbled up on it in their travelings and picked it up.
(I owe Bob big time --  a dinner, cookies and fuel for his kindness in trying to track it down!)

So send us some good luck wishes and fingers crossed that we might find it -- we did find Bob's dog, Ruger's chew toy Crabby (looks like a crab) as we went out this morning so I guess we might find a camera, too!

If not, the blogs will be missing pictures until I can replace the camera.  Although I am sad and disappointed at losing it, I can find the silver lining:

1. First and foremost, no one got hurt (except the camera)
2. It wasn't my phone which is why I don't take it out on the desert
3. There wasn't any "questionable" pictures on it 😆
4. And even though it was a very good camera and in good working order, it was several years old

So until the next post updating you on the camera issue,
The Not-So-Happy Travelers today,
Susan & Darrel
