[Rockhounds] Virgin Valley Nevada Collecting

[Dawn M. Fredricks]

I can vouch for the tire situation, when we were down there in October, we had 2 flats on our own crappy tires on our truck.  Both flats were from driving in the Sunstone area in Oregon and were repaired at Les Schwab.  Of course we could have bought new tires for a measley $1200, but alas, I blew my cash on stones instead!
