[Rockhounds] Sliding Rocks Redux

[Gary Brown]

Remember that discussion about "sliding rocks" a week or so ago?  Well, I
can say they are REAL.  Sort of.  Or, as the Youth of America says "In Your
Dreams..."

There I was, on the edge of a western US valley, a little dry stream bed off
in the distance.  I see a cloud of dust and walk over to the stream bed.
Being pushed along by a good breeze are not one but TWO BIG BOULDERS!
There's a little rolling gravel on the front edge, but those puppies are
getting pushed along by the wind!  I have GOT to get pictures of this for
the Rockhounds List!

I immediately run back to the car and grab my Nikon D80 and try to switch
the normal lens out for the tele.  Gee... I don't remember the Nikon having
a Pentax screw mount???!!!  I can't swap out the lens, the rocks slide off
into the distance and drop into a reservoir (where did that come from???),
and I move on to other things.

So, there's the latest in my "rockhound dreams"... A follow up to my
"digging gems in the roadside" dream of a couple of years ago.

WWFS?  (What Would Freud Say?)
