This was the first time I went on hounding trips. I usually just go to buy rocks & meet people at Tony's pot luck. I will definitely go on hounding trips in the future. Brenda, we'll see you in 2019!
I've also decided to make Qz an annual thing. Even though it's a 6 hour drive, it's worth it. I skipped 2017 and skipped 2012 after my first Qz experience in 2011.
Living in a place that gets snow, I need a little bit of warmth in January, even if just for a long weekend. Lynn

Looking forward to seeing you again next year zarguy Lynn! If nothing else, we'll hit Brenda. Glad to hear it's only 6 hours for you. It's 6 hours for me if I go the weekend of 1/1 - holiday traffic going home. Next year I'm only going during pow wow week, but will take more days.

Next year's Pow Wow is only about 11 1/2 months away. It'll be here in no time! Lynn

melhill1659 Thanks for posting a zillion pix. I recognize Chrissy's awesome Brenda fortification agate and the opal from that site. Next year, more of the same, but better! Lynn

We've been on real limited internet for a while now but believe that's taken care of. Thanks to all of you for posting all of those pictures! I still have some Brenda stuff from 2014 (The year of the infamous drocknut gem silica) but it looks like I need to get back over there. We bought a little bit of stuff, mostly looked, visited with people and trying to learn. Cyndi got a pendant thing from orrum . Really nice. That was a good time, fun, educational, entertaining. There is also a little story that goes with this, but I'll lt Bill tell it if he chooses. Some have heard it, Bill is a much better story teller than I. Looking forward to next year-a week in Quartzsite in January is a nice break from snow. Russ

melhill1659, those pics are great! I didn't realize that your haul was so large for the trip. After seeing Lynn's zarguy pickings, I might have to go out with you folks to Brenda next year. That's some neat looking stuff. After seeing all of the photos, I think I'm going to have to expand my shopping list for next year. Russ nowyo, Bill orrum did a piece for my wife as well. And, I agree, his storytelling is awesome. Dave

Lynn My Motto now: when you go Rockhounding with Lynn stick CLOSE to him!! If it wasn’t for you we’d have never found the good stuff. Thank You

and I broke the bank with an eight pound chunk of OJ thanks for lookin'! Wow Beef, nice scores there. That OJ takes the show! Nice to see I'm not the only one on a palm kick right now. Good stuff there. That root ball of palm is amazing! Pretty hunk of Noreena too.
