That poo is fantastic you got from Orrum, and the yellow plume on the black Nevada desert thunderegg is outstanding, a sweet combination of color. Never knew they existed, wish mine had some.

Of everything we hauled home this is my favorite Got this awesome slab, slabbette, preform filing cabinet from Rockhobbit via the kind and gracious drocknut who kept it safe for me and brought it to Tony's for us to pick it up. I love it - it's the missing piece of the master plan hahaha.

Nice haul. Love the wheel on the wall! Hahaha Haha right? it's an anti-theft thing - I keep the wheel and the stabilizers wrench in the garage just to make it harder if anyone tries to steal the trailer. I put it up in plain sight now after we left on a trip once forgetting the wheel and the wrench... I don't ever want to do THAT again trust me.

Everybody is traveling today. We just got home but have a ton of end of trip domestic stuff to do. I have uploaded my pics but can't get the code on my phone. Have to fire up the laptop
And??? Is three days enough time to do "end of trip domestic stuff?" Or maybe your laptop quit working? Some other excuse? I remember how you pissed off Sabre52 a couple years ago, waiting for photos from a field trip....
All those people went, and we only got photos/reports from melhill1659 , barclay , Bluesky78987 , aDave , Tommy ?
Taking photos is not enough, you have to POST them, too.

Ok, here we go, pic dump: (These are all from pow wow)
Susan, this has to be my favorite! Love the Eye of Providence (all seeing eye) found on a dollar bill, just below your thumb. Anybody else see that?
Great pics of all the rocks. Thank you sharing your photos and report. Jean

I was truly happy that nothing went wrong while transporting the cabinet home. Murphy usually has a way with things for me every now and then.

Well technically I owe you your tie-down ratchet strap back The only thing that came even close to going wrong was after we left Q we headed back up to the Mojave so I could fulfill my promise to Eva to hike with her to the Strawberry Onyx site. We were supposed to do it on the way down but I got antsy about getting down to the PowWow and such. Anyway the roads were pretty good - they can be VERY sandy - and I was hauling ass and hit a rut in the road that I didn't see and we bounced pretty good to the point that the cabinet tried to go it's own way . Nothing broken, just tightened the straps and drove a bit slower after that.

Nice rocks Tommy! I heard that cabinet cost you and Eva though. ;-) Oh that ... took me a while to figure out what you mean't. Yes we had to pay Diane dearly in hugs. Eva sucked it up nicely and gave her three hugs and a shoulder rub

Thank you ever so much guys for posting your pictures. I have a million comments, but I am the world's slowest typist, so I'll just say thanks again and - I LIVE ON THE WRONG FLIPPIN' COAST. ok, I have to add orrum that is some of the best poop I've seen. Good to see you working your magic, too. OK, one more- I would die right there in front of all that Bruno and be happy.

#A Astrophyllite in unknown Feldspar #B Kyanite & Spessartine Garnet in matrix #C Bluesky78987 had the same table Fordite #D For captbob recent Dinobone addiction #1 Staurolite #2 Orpiment Arsenic Sulfide #3 Orpiment as well, the color of this stuff is absolutely mind blowing. the intensity cannot be captured by the camera and its also got an iridescence to it that cannot translate to bits and bytes. It almost looks like pulled sugar (dont eat it!) #4 Halite my fave #5 Halite more cool ones #6 Sunset over catmandeweI have more, but it seems I lost them in a tragic internet collison of malformed folders and excess use of public space.... fixed it

I definitely got the better deal in this one. Thanks Tommy for the rocks, hugs, and glad you are going to enjoy that cabinet.
