I apologize for taking so long to post my Tucson show pictures especially since it has been a month since I started. I want to leave the show and finish by showing you what we did after leaving Tucson. We had the opportunity to visit Jeff Swanger at his Oceanview Mine in Pala, California. Jeff is the owner and operator of the Oceanview and Pala Chief Mines on Chief Mountain. It may take me a few days to finish.
