I am really starting to like this stuff. Looking forward to getting more to run on my next trip west.

I'm not looking for a specific location, but where do you find that stuff?

Thanks for the comments. I only wish I would have picked up a little more of this stuff. I just wasn't sure how it would turn out but after seeing the results, I will be on a mission on this year's trip back out there to find more.
