Cargo Muchacho Mountains (S CA Site 8, AZ Site 56)

by Jerry on January 19, 2010

Directions: We only visited Site B, on Indian Pass Rd. Mitchell’s directions are accurate. Rather than park at the designated site, we ventured a short distance further east and took a side road off to the right which led about 1/4 mile over and down to a wash.

GPS: 33.001 N 114.778 W

Date: January 2010

Notes: We were hoping to find palm wood and dumortierite, but were most successful finding significant amounts of kyanite which was not listed in the Gem Trails entry. No palm was found, but in addition to all the kyanite we could carry and several pounds of mostly smaller dumortierite pieces, we picked up a few pounds of potentially nice agate in browns with red veins.
