Tues. Aug. 18
Had another fantastic day hunting rocks! Steve and a fellow club member, Wayne rode with us today. Wayne is a geologist so he was really helpful identifying what we found. We made a 215 mile roundtrip up into the mountains. I can’t wait to get somewhere with flat ground! We found red and green epidote, garnets and selenite. On the way to the dig we stopped to pick up some 1.4 billion year old belt rocks. We also went to a beautiful waterfall. Steve helped Bud carry a 200lb rock down the mountain and it is loaded with green epidote. Had a great time but we’re wore out. Going to stay an extra day to rest.
Did I tell you that at campround we have no TV, no phone and no internet? I’ll go nuts sitting here all day.
