Desert Gem Trails
by Mary Frances Strong

This book is perhaps the most invaluable guide to rockhounding sites in southern California and Arizona, the Mohave and Colorado deserts.

Her maps and illustrations are extremely accurate -- an absolute necessity when venturing out into the California deserts.

Her love of the beauty, solace, and wonder to be found in the desert comes through, particularly in the introduction to the book.

This book gives extremely accurate distances -- almost always to the tenth of a mile and well within the margin of error for different sized cars -- and helps the collector find the location.

Desert Gem Trails is a must for anyone wishing to explore the many wonderful collecting sites of our desert.
