[Rockhounds] giant garnets exposed: a field trip gone awry

[Kitty & Bill Heacox]

OT comment:  Moose?  Pretty unusual in Idaho!  I used to have a doe 
steal laundry off the clothesline, and cow elk come up to accept 
carrots and sugar cubes, while the bulls stood in the distance and 
barked---in Avery, Idaho as a kid.  But no moose!

Aloha, Bill
