And they're OFF! The group gathered at eight this morning at Lynn's home to begin the day for a couple of hours gathering Summit and south agate. In a couple of hours they will head for Holt Canyon. Chris, Tony, Eva, Tommy, Dave, Scott, Jeannie, Bill, Susan, Melissa, Lynn, Merritt, Craig, ---, ---. (I need help. Names leave me at the speed of light. Please PM me with names for blanks and I will edit them in) Thanks beefjello Brian for saving me from a big embarrassment.

So there are at least half a dozen members from here on this rock hounding trip. It's past 11 o'clock at night (Mountain Time) after a full day of rock hunting. NO ONE could post a report?
They couldn't have ALL ended up in jail!
pffft...

I can't pics but.....
Use your imagination and then double it!!! Tony got a 600 pounder yesterday out of a deep gully with his ropes and tackle dragging it with his mountain goat truck!!! We all rolled it up his tailgate into the truck!! He takes his tailgate off snd lays it on the bumper to use as a ramp. It is Cedar City agate. It's a rainbow of colors of yellow, red, blue and white plus ...Well it rivals the best of any Arizona Rainbow wood I have ever seen and this is solid!!!
Just incredible hounding!!!
Mel I am sure took pics!
