Hey, all. I spent my last 2 days off cruising and rock collecting in SE Arizona, have been wanting to get down there for several months now. The weather was gorgeous - 80 plus degrees, and the rockhounding was fabulous. I picked up several pounds of chalcedony, and some really nice fire agate. In fact, it was so great I plan to go back this coming weekend. When I got home I was dismayed to discover that it had snowed while I was gone and the temperature in NM had dropped about 40 degrees. My house looked like an igloo...I'll send photos as soon as I get an opportunity to sort through and clean up some of this rock. I might try tumbling someof the lower-grade fire agate. Lucky you, Banjo Creek. Arizona is beautiful! S

Don't cry, Brett - I will attempt to post some photos if I ever get a day off, and you can share my rock madness. S
