Yes, Fiebre, they arrived safely, only to begin work on restocking their inventory.

Jordi and crew, ever on the lookout for fine, new, specimens, on their way to a new find. This was their last stop before entering the trackless wilderness so any last minute needs could be filled. They forged on.

Looks like Jordi needed a twenty mule team to get out all of his inventory when he left Tucson this time.

I suggest running all these postings backwards. Then we might see Jordi gathering his stock and returning to Tucson where we might just get to see him again! :) BOB

I'm just thinking about this. I doubt what could be better, retire to a monastery or kill Vic with my own hands. The second is what I reallly want to do but I'm afraid he could be a hard nut to crack ;-) ;-)

Thanks Vic, I love you too! ;-) ;-) ;-)

It is a chore keeping up with him, Don. It's a good thing he leaves a trail of gravel to follow, like Hansel and Gretel.

OK Vic, I give up. Too good to disturb you during the creation of your fable (not fabre ;-)

Even though Mr. Fabre will not be attending the 2017 Tucson Mineral Show as a dealer, we see him here loading his asses with bags of cash in order to enhance his inventory at the show. We look forward to his arrival.

Cash counted and cinched tight, Mr. Fabre begins the drive to Tucson, hoping to leave some of this burden there. Safe travels are wished for him and his team.
