Anyone else think that looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? I could see that....however, my first thought was the big marshmallow dude on Ghostbusters. "I aint afraid of no ghost" ;D

Ah, now you're just teasing! What else do you have from your Southern California trips you haven't shared!
I have no ulterior motive to see these agatized and jasper specimens from parts of the Mojave Desert I've only passed by... No other reason whatsoever...cough....AgateIndex...cough....AgateIndex...
Pardon me.
Great specimen! Proves even rocks are happy when we pick them up to bring them home!

I lived in Riverside, Cal. until 96. Spent a lot of weekends and vacations hounding along old Rt.66. Got a bunch of other stuff that I'll post pics of for the Agate Index, once we thaw out here in S.D. Don

Yeah, but I've been getting the senior discount without asking for it since I was 45. Too many years of clean living I guess.
