A Desert Independent Flashback By Don Moore Originally Published January 5, 2010 September 30, 2019 In April 1976 my brother Dean and I were visiting our uncle, J. Fae Moore, in his small cottage at Hart Camp, Texas. It had been several years since we had last seen him. We busied ourselves reminiscing about various subjects of mutual interest.

Moore, took a prospecting trip to the area around Silver City, New Mexico. At that time dad and mother were residing in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Fae had driven over from Hart Camp, Texas for an extended visit. Fae told us that their primary reason for going on the trip was to search for some turquoise. MORE El Centro / La Mesa
