Congratulations Susan! Gratitude for sharing the trip report!
Some truly world class materials there. Wish I could've gone.

Ha, well, hold off on the compliments for now Scott - I opened one box and cut open a lot of "Ewwww, what was I thinking? ?" rocks. Couple OK moss. A couple, out of an entire MFRB. Sigh. A few "not fully baked", but more that turned out to be baby puke or some shade of beige agate inside. The one with the row of red flower/plumes across the bottom? Peanut butter. Ugh. Can't wait to get to the "world class" ones! lol.

I have noticed that in Texas the eyes can deceive. Maybe closer to the sun...maybe dehydration. Don't worry. Lots more boxes to open.
