[Rockhounds] St. Maries, ID

[John Junkroski]

Jim,

They provided screens and shovels, which were adequate but kind of  
beat up, of course, so don't let that stop you.

I wouldn't pass it up even if I had to go out of my way and re- 
schedule my trip.

( Come to think of it, we went about 1400 miles out of our way...)

John
