Not far from the old Lake Valley ghost town, in rural New Mexico, lays a stretch of land called the White Rock Ranch. It's a family-owned operation, and little do the parents know, there are diamonds hidden in the sandy rocks and ledges. However, Robbie and Molly happen to know very well that there's treasure around-you just have to keep your eyes open and know where to dig!
Set up with sandwiches, trail mix, and tools, they head out on their mining expedition. Along the way, they meet a curious roadrunner and a bushy-tailed squirrel, but they are not distracted from their mission-until Robbie trips over something sticking out of the dirt.
That something is a little, red box, and what it holds just may give this brother-and-sister team some new ideas about what treasure really is and what adventurers lived on this land long before them. Join Robbie and Molly on their expedition, and discover things about the ranch that they never even knew!
About the Author: Sister team, Maude Allen and Georgia Lane grew up with their brother and sister on a remote New Mexico ranch, forty-two miles from town, in the foothills of the Black Range Mountains. Their mother stressed the importance of education and expanded their minds through reading. Their father, ever the adventurer, opened up a world full of wonderful experiences for his children.
Maude returned home in her late twenties with her young son to run the ranch with her mother. Twenty years later, they sold the property and moved to Las Cruces, where she currently works in the health field.
Georgia left the ranch to further her education, earning an EdD in Curriculum and Instruction. Starting out as an elementary teacher, she eventually transitioned into administration and then retired after thirty years in the field. She is married to a wonderful husband who supports her in all her adventures.
