I'm here! Not as often, and I have too many neglected rocks that just stare at me, lol. Awesome seeing you pull out the saw and great pictures! I'm not sure he's on here, but I bought the saw from Zippyrocks (ebay name) and the always wonderful Stoner came over to help set it up and running. I'm no longer in CA, in the passing years I've retired, and moved to Arizona and loving the desert life. My problem has always been too many hobbies and the attention span of a squirrel.

Wow, nice! Haha, we'll be adding landscape rock to our backyard, and I swear I'm planning to go choose based on 'finds' in a pile, so I can rockhound in my yard. Found this in a neighbor's sidewalk on our evening walk~

Loved seeing your trip! Wow, the view. That was quite the hike, you guys did great! I got tired looking at how high you hiked up to! That last agate looked like it could be interesting.

Dang. It's such a gamble...but it's like playing the lottery. That one time when you get a 'wow' piece...sigh.

It came! The cab is beautiful knave! Thanks Miss Ooly for the jade cab. I have plans for both, hehe. NOTHING beats a box of rocks coming in the mail to brighten up one's day! At first, I was going to set aside most to start it over, but going through the box, every time I pulled out a slab that I had originally sent out, it was such a bummer! SO I'm thinking I'll have to slab/collect/purchase stuff to send out different rock, which may take me some time, and probably another come around of the Tucson gem and mineral show. If someone else would like to start a round sooner, feel free! It's great fun to see all the pictures and cabs and it's not too much to time to keep track of participants, forward addresses, and in the end you get (mostly) different rock then you send out at the beginning! Rock people are so generous, it tends to grow too, lol. Thanks again for everyone that joined in. Diana aka deedolce

It looks really cool knave! 70 hours is crazy work, and I remember how it is with little ones, no time for oneself with a regular work week!

Beautiful cabs! Julieooly, I'll check my stash, I think I have a couple of small slabs of the Feather River Jade in there I can send you when I get back from visiting family in a couple of weeks. I want to thank everyone that certainly brightened my day with this round of Travelling Slabbetts, getting to see all your beautiful cabs and hear about the unpacking and seeing your pictures. It was good timing for sharing 'rock-y goodness' in this crazy period of 2020, that's for sure! I'll keep a large portion of the returning box to start another round a couple of months from now~~ hope y'all will join in again! Diana aka deedolce

No, I haven't heard anything. Things are a bit crazy these days, so I hope he's doing okay! The last day he's logged on here is when he posted in this thread.

Gorgeous cab! You did a fantastic job Robin! To everyone, this is just for us, and safety first, so if you need more time, we're all understanding about that, especially now~

Beautiful cab, Jim! I've never seen Dallasite before. Cool whites and greens. Thanks Robin, for exchanging the slabbetts that broke. I appreciate you doing so! I'll send you Rad's address for when you're ready!

Haha, answered your pm, but just to let anyone that's wanting to join; as long as the box is still traveling and hasn't ended with me yet, you can join! I update the list in my initial post with the list and where the box is along the way. Glad to have you Julie! You make #11!

Whew! The BEST is when it's all over with! I'm with you, going to the dentist is one of the most 'grown up' things I do, when I'd rather run away and hide behind my garden bench!
