Testimonials From our New Friends

Andreas and Sylvia, Illinois   Sylvia and I made it back to Illinois all safe and sound from our recent trip to Arizona.  It was truly a pleasure meeting you both.  The jeep ride, and the tour of your property and mine, were definitely the highlight of our trip.  We’re so glad we took the time to see your property, and we’ll highly recommend the tour we took to all our friends.   The next time you see Rebel, please say hello to her from us – she was a great tour guide, driver, and an all around colorful person.  You can also mention to her that shortly after returning us to the Carefree resort, we encountered a diamondback rattlesnake in the parking lot (a “code seven” as the people there called it), and got to watch one of them capture it into a bucket.  I’m glad that happened in a parking lot, and not in the Fort Worth mine!   Thanks again for your hospitality, and we wish you all the best. 

Gerry Sikes / Concierge, Scottsdale Camelback Resort   Charles & Ginger,  Just wanted to let you know how much fun we had yesterday.  We all said you guys were so nice and gracious to allow us to come into your home.  The mine was awesome,  I now know what I'm talking about.  Thanks again for everything.

Missy Allen, Michigan   Hi Charles and Ginger,  I wanted to thank you for sharing your home, lab and the history of the mines and the mountain with us.  It must have been a devastating experience to watch the fires, but the "Rebirth" of the mountain is truly beautiful.  I feel so blessed to have seen such beauty.  Our girl's weekend in Arizona celebrating Tricia's 40th birthday was so much fun.  Again thank you so much.  I hope to bring my girls and husband on the same trip someday.  Hopefully Rebel will still be around.  She was a fabulous guide.

Debi Smock, Indiana   Ginger,  Your place definitely gives a completely different definition to living in the mountains!  What a wonderful place to "retire to".  Every direction you look reflects God's glory.  Thanks for allowing others a glimpse of your world!  Thanks also for sending the frame.  May God bless You and Charles.  

Sheryl Penman, New York  Thanks you so much for all your hospitality.  I had the most amazing time.  And I look forward to heading back your way again in the future.  Thanks for the pic, LUV IT!!!   PS: Ginger, I wish I had taken more cookies.  U guys take care of yourselves.

June Mull, Illinois  Thank you so much for a memorable day.  It was terrific that we were able to visit your home and explore the mine.  Thanks also to Johnny for bringing us up the mountain.  I will never forget that trip.  Every now and then I have flashbacks but nothing that a martini or two doesn't correct.  Take care and when I come back to Scottsdale next year I will most definitely come back to see you.

Debby DeBernardi, Arizona  Thanks for the memories!  The day was truly glorious with new friends, nature, food, and the smell of leather.  Blessings to all of you....I would love to get Shannon and Jesse (our daughter and son-in-law) up to see and experience your place!  Love to you all.

Amy Krymkowski, California  Wow, great photo!  Thank you again so much Charles and Ginger.  We had a great time and I will surely stay in touch.

Laurie Olthof, Michigan   Jim & Jan Bush highly recommended you.  Jan said we would love you & we do.

Gina Watkins and family, Arizona   Thank You, Thank You.  You were so gracious to our families.  I can't tell you how much we appreciated your generosity.
