[Rockhounds] Dumb rockhound stories

[John Cornish]

Hi Dawn,

Good luck on that 3rd try. As a thought, and for everyone else heading
through Lakeview, Oregon, consider stopping at the Indian Village
restaurant. They have thousands and thousands of authentic spear and
arrowheads
in mounted displays all throughout the building. Lots of ceremonial points,
etc. too. These were all collected years and years ago from the Midwestern
US as I recall. It's a truly phenomenal collection and one which can be
visited while enjoying the air conditioned coolness away from the blazing
sun awaiting out side. Just a thought for your consideration. All the best
in your adventures. See ya,

John
