Hello all my rocky friends. The lovely Susan AND I left NC last Monday and we are currently in Cochise Stronghold! It's in the Coronado National Forest in Arizona!!! Talk about big rocks! This is like a one small entry point castle or something. It's areas and acres in here! Beautiful Manzanita everywhere. After breakfast we are headed to Quartzsite, should be there somewhere around lunch. I am thinking Sweet Darlenes!
Anybody want to go rock hounding just speak up. We will be working our way thru Az, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and maybe Oregon.
Oh by the way we have a new toy, it's a Polaris RZR 570!!! Yep we are mobile for real!!
Happy happy we are!!!

Glad you finally made it out to Arizona. I'll bet you'll have fun with the new play toy. I'm not available right now for rockhounding but perhaps I'll catch up with you later on somewhere down the road. Have fun and safe travels.

If you are anything like me, you hate to take your prized vehicle on some of the very ends of the side roads. I won't take a car off of the pavement due to rock chip potential. I won't take my 4X4 pick-up where there is brush to scratch it or possibly bottom out...but I WILL take our 900 RZR places that I'd never walk to...'cause I'm too old for that!
Congrats on the "new toy". You will enjoy every mile of the ride and access to the rock sites that others will pass up. Keep us posted with photos.

Thanks folks!!! We r gonna go to the Effus Ranch first in Wickenburg Az. I left my horse trailer there and my ole stallion Chips. Gonna get some extra solar batteries in Q snd visit with our great friend Mike. Then on to the Effus.

Tommy I hate you so much I just might park in your yard and watch you make a cab with no dop stick, sounds difficult! Well you're in luck because I stopped using dop sticks LOL. Going on two months now without a stick and my productivity has never been better Scheduling is a difficulty here with our taking care of momma full time - and Eva is headed to Germany end of this week to see her own momma - but if you do decide to swing through anywhere close to the bay area let me know.

Those side x sides are a hoot Bill. Was driving my buddy's sideways around his pond a few weeks ago after we cut a road through the hunting woods. I hope you find lots of awesome rock. Don't forget to leave only footprints or tire tracks.
