OK my turn to do a guessing game.
Guess the mileage we traveled on our Quartzsite. AZ trip based on our odometer mileage for the trip.
Thursday Jan. 12- Sat Jan. 14 we drove from Vancouver WA to Blythe with a stop in CA to visit family.
Sunday Jan. 15 we drove to Desert Gardens and back to Blythe.
Monday Jan. 16 we drove to Glendale AZ to see family and back to Blythe.
Tuesday Jan 17 went to Desert Gardens and back.
Wednesday Jan 18 went to QIA Pow Wow and back
Thursday Jan. 19 we drove to Desert Gardens, met RTHers and went rock hunting for chrysocolla at Planet Ranch area and agate on the way back.
Friday Jan. 20 we went to QIA and DG to shop for last day items.
Saturday Jan 21 we headed for home arriving Sunday the 22. We returned by a different route due to weather concerns.
Some of you know our address here but nobody (including us) knows exactly where our side trips took us so I think it's a fair contest. Contest ends either when someone gets the exact number or on Presidents Day, Feb 20 at 6pm PST with the closest guess. If two guesses are equal distance from the correct number the one posted first wins. Guess as many times as you want but keep in mind only the most recent guess will count at the end. I only check in once a day so if you guess twice in a day I'll only go with the most recent.
The prizes:
Picked up in Quartzsite from members.
Native Copper from Stonesthatrock (Ralph and Maryann) and Pink Peruvian opal from Nuevomundo (Aaron)

And a few from the slab bucket:

Plus there will surely be a few surprises to finish filling the MFRB
Good luck peeps.
