[Rockhounds] Afghanistan Minerals

[Jeanette Wimpee]

Thankfully, our S-I-L, will be situated on the Air Force Base in Bagram.  He 
won't have to venture off the base unless he wants to.  He's going as a 
contractor gunsmith. I told him to keep his head down anyway.  He won't be 
out collecting, most likely he'll be on the lookout for whatever he can buy 
on the base. According to his Dad who was working in Iraq, there are locals 
who can get on the bases and sell you anything you want, and then some.
Some lapis rough would be nice...
Thank you for all those concerned.
Jeanette and Glenn
