[Rockhounds] Sleeping in bad places

[Alan Silverstein]

Oh yeah!  I just remembered the night I spent alone near Cisco, I think
it was, in eastern Utah, some years ago.  Lotsa rocks (Morrison
formation), not much interesting though.  I arrived after dark, parked
off the road on a desert flat, and laid out next to the car.  All night
long I heard sheep bleating around me...

In the morning I woke up to see three guys on horseback off a ways
looking in my direction, but without a lot of interest -- never talked
with them.  I also saw a lot of sheep.  AND, there were placentas
scattered about on the ground.  Some of the sheep had been giving birth
overnight!

Cheers,
