When you kayak is 3 inches from sinking(serious) Seems like you had two more inches...to be safe.

When you kayak is 3 inches from sinking(serious) Are you referring to my kayak? That's only a little bit of coral.

That beautiful slab is still intact! rockpickerforever It will stay that way. My goal was to polish it and present it back to you. Well I have good intentions Ed Ed, I am delighted to hear you are keeping it intact, it is a beautiful slab. But I gave it to you with no strings attached, yours to do with as you wish. Should you tire of it, I'm sure you can pass it on to a deserving person. I respect your good intentions, I have a lot of those, too Keep on rockin', Mr Mohs Jean

You know you are a rockhound when you have to force your self to look up.
You know your a rock hound when you hear the clanking of rocks in the dryer forgotten in pockets.

When you are loaded down trying to get back to the road, so exhausted you can barely walk, back is hurting so bad you just want to die on the spot and not once does it occur to you that you could drop some rocks and survive. Jim

I remember you serving as the tug boat in the front kayak fantastic5. It was the tail wagging the dog, the load was sorta controlling you.

No no, I wasn't that high, honest. But I was high enough to skip from cloud to cloud. And I had Russ to save me so I wasn't worried. But I moved and he moved so now I need to get that young rock carrier more than ever. Jim

When you are loaded down trying to get back to the road, so exhausted you can barely walk, back is hurting so bad you just want to die on the spot and not once does it occur to you that you could drop some rocks and survive. Jim ...and you find yourself still looking for rocks on the way back to the road.

Bryce really busy already with tourists? Cool nights too. Most of the lodging was full. Park was pretty packed. It was ok out on the trails, mostly just parking. I have seen it much worse. We went on Sunday, Monday so that helped also. Vic Nights were great down in the 60s Sounds like here. Been up in the high San Juans 10-12,000 ft, elev. Cool bright days, 60, nights mid 30.s At 7,000 ft comfortable nights.

You know you're a rockhound when you have a half ton of rocks sprawled out across the living room floor. Half ton on the living room floor?? Must have cleaned up and bucketed some stuff huh??? grin.. Nothing about not seeing the kitchen counters for weeks and weeks. Rocks on top the washer AND dryer..

You measure large rocks by the amount of time it will take to drag it back to the truck.
Your psychic powers tell you there is always just one more awsome rock just over the next hill.
You have a story for every bucket of rock in your yard.
Your lapidary equipment takes up more room than your vehicles.
You measure all flat material by the number of cabs you can cut out of it.
Your work is intruding on the mineral specimen display area on your desk.
You know what is down those highway exits in the middle of nowhere.
You can no longer count the number of tools you have worn out on both hands.
When you tell people how many 5-gallon buckets of rock your vehicle can carry instead of the number of people.
You buy more Dawn to clean your rocks than clean your dishes.
Instead of not having enough rock for your yard, you have not enough yard for your rock.

You go to the drive-in with your family and the first thing you notice is they have new gravel. My first taptalk post. Woohoo! What makes you a rockhound? I notice when you are older and go to the drive in with the family, you go during the day. When you were a young couple you went at night and made family. Yep I always notice new landscape rock.. Gotta get there before the RTF people do.

Ha Ha! Not during the day...this is a 'man thing'. My husband always insists on arriving when they open the gates so he can get a first row parking spot. Everyone sits in chairs outside of the cars, so he doesn't want anyone blocking his view. We set up then go play frisbee in the grassy areas. Or just sit and talk with friends. I would rather just get there before dark and take a spot available. Oh, I just thought of something, if it wasn't for my husband wanting to be first, I wouldn't have had the time to wander and check out the gravel. Hmmmm. Maybe I need to rethink this
