We began our tugtupite trip by hiking
most of the way up the hill on the road to an abandoned uranium
mine. It wasn't bad but we were carrying backpacks with our collecting
gear, rock hammers, UV lights, etc. They were light compared
to our return trip many hours later! That's Storm Johnson hiking
up. Note the large dark boulder field on the left, behind Storm.
That's where we climbed up to look for sorensenite. |
