Wed. Aug. 26

Spent the entire day gathering obsidian. Left at 8 a.m. and got home about 7 p.m. and we’re dragging. Got LOTS of rocks! We have black, lace, rainbow, seeded and black & red obsidian. No pumpkin and that’s my favorite. Walked forever but enjoyed ourselves. The hills were covered in shiny stuff. Where I come from if you see a hillside of shiny glass it’s probably where someone had a beer party and either broke or shot the bottles. We took a different “road” out of the gathering site and I thought we’d never see another human. All of a sudden a van came up and it was a young gal with 2 children. They’d been on road 5 ½ hours hunting for the Glass Butte. And they only lived 1 ½ hrs away. We turned around and went to a spot where we could help the kids find some good stuff. We also gave her our map so that they can bring their dad and come back for a really good day of hunting. Now we’re sitting around moaning and groaning because we both hurt all over……What a great day!!!
