[Rockhounds] New Year's Resolutions

[Cheri Moody]

Hello group! My husband and I are fairly new Rock Hounds (7 years)....This group seems to be a bit more than Rockhounds, more of a serious geology group....We are looking for a group that is into the Rockhounding in Southern, and Northern Cali....We also travel to Utah, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada to hunt...Can you direct us to a group of Rockhounds? Or if any of you are into the basic Rockhounding we would love to hear from you.
 
Cheri Moody

That's good stuff Larry:

I'm starting to have a clearer picture of why different dealers have such widely variable pricing on what appears to be very similar mineral specimens (smiles)

I injured my back this past summer while lifting a portly chunk of basalt into my pickup. It's bad enough laying on the ground, trying to get past the pain, before you can consider going down the hill to see a doctor (and begin the financial part of the trauma). But to make matters worse, my 80 year old grandpa who was with me at the time, advised me to quit whining, and continued to dead lift 150 pounders into the truck with simple ease.

In a month's time, my back was reasonably OK - but my ego has still not fully recovered!

Warm Regards - Scott Blair

>  8.. I resolve not to use my 5 foot, 50 pound railroad pry bar as a hiking staff while climbing a quarry wall ( Last year's result- broken femur, ambulance ride, $2370 Emergency Room charges, and no new calcites from that site)
