Sounds like you and Rob had a great time. On a side note, a good friend of mine does not have internet, but she can see You Tube videos on her phone. She is an avid rock collector. She recently told me about some great videos I should check out. They were made by a guy called Michigan Rocks. That from what she could tell, he is known as being the expert on Great Lakes rocks. That he was a professional videographer, too. I had to laugh. Oh, you mean Rob? Now, my friend wants us to take a trip to Michigan to go rock hunting. We sometimes talk about RTH and all the great posts/members here. She hopes to have her computer repaired and have internet, so she can join RTH and "meet" members. It cracks me up how people think I'm something special because I have a YouTube channel. I have never even had a geology class, and half the time my videos are blurry. I film with a GoPro and a phone. Rob. Do not sell yourself short. My friend, who has traveled the country, has worked for many agencies, and an avid rock collector, said your videos and knowledge were very professional. It is not always about taking classes. Often it is a passion for something one loves and stiving to learn as much as they can about it. Then sharing their passion with others.

Now I need him to come out here 😂 I can think of a road trip loop that would take him past us(ish) and a few others then up 95 through mcDermitt past Burns to you, like we go, to the coast and back east out the gorge and Tony's rock mountain, yellowstone and so on. When you get out west all paths lead to rocks.

When you get out west all paths lead to rocks. I need to schedule a few days off for when you get here. If you’re camping at the ochoco reservoir again, the first night we can go up into the rim rocks and see what we can turn up. Maurys should be a go. Eagle rock should be a go. Limbcast should be a go. Anything else you want, let me know and we’ll plan for it. We could take the Polaris ranger out as well to make “hiking” and easy chore.

LOL - I've been wondering too...but didn't want to bug him about it! LOL I know he just posted a video of him being in Montana...his stop before here...so I'm hoping this next week we'll see the "Fairburns" video! Fingers crossed!

Good stuff! I saw the video a week or so back and then watched it as a rerun the next day. Looks like you all had a good time out there 😀
