Yesterday, I got a PM from Rodney entitled "strange offer". He explained that he had been driving through Nevada and some surrounding states when he got into a predicament. To make a long story short, he ended-up having to leave his trailer out in the desert near Amargosa, Nevada, and said that if I wanted to go and get it, I could have it.
It was only about 50 miles from my house, and I just got back from picking it up. It's a nicely built Chevy truck bed conversion, and I'll definately get a lot of use out of it. NOT ONLY THAT, but there was a brand new 5 gallon gas can in it, plus a 5 gallon bucket full of nice gemstone! Sheesh!
So, I'd really like to thank Rodney and Jamie for thinking of me, and for making such a generous offer. You folks are the greatest!
*** BIG HUG ***
THANK YOU ... THANK YOU ... THANK YOU

Hehehe ... and it just keeps getting better! I just talked to Rodney on the phone for a long time. What a nice guy! Once we got on the subject of Chrysocolla, OH BOY! I've never talked to anyone else who shares that interest with me before (except the kids LOL), so it was great to talk with him about it. He's a real wealth of knowledge.

Very cool! I love it when two rockhounds get together, even if only by phone!

Hopefully, the next time Rodney's up near this area, we can hook-up so I can take him up to see my Chrysocolla. He said he may be back up this way in a couple of months.
*Fingers crossed*
