FlagStone The final day

Tuesday dawned kinda cold and windy, off we went to Flagstone claim. When we got there I was kinda unsure what course to take, whether to go back to the hotel and wait for warmer weather or try to get some of the claims we could drive up to. Originally I had volunteered Colt and Levi to do the dreaded long hike here while Dendra and I did the long ride around to 8,9,10 claims, both of them would be cold and even more uncomfortable with the wind blowing. It was decided that we would indeed drive to the easy ones and wait for the weather to moderate somewhat to do the ugly hike/ride. after reporting in with the Quarry manager all went really well and we got done in great time and off to the Hotel. As soon as we got there Dendra had a shower to return some of the dirt, well as we needed the restrooms etc. we found there was no water in the south tower where we were staying and would not have water for at least two days. They offered to move us over to the other tower, but after some consideration we decide if we were going to pack up we might as well go home. All this was at about 5:30 in the afternoon, so off we went home, all in all a good trip and way nice to be home. one stop in Mesquite for supper and home by 10:30, we were very blessed to have a good trip, accomplish the things we needed to do and more, all while having a good time with loved ones.
