I figured it's my turn for another contest! It's been quite a long time..so here it is. This is also in honor of the latest field trip to Delta Utah that I wasn't able to make. Prizes offered will include some Dugways(wholes and halves), Topaz, and what other junk I find laying around. You may have to do some research to answer these questions...But i believe you can find them all here on the RTH! I do know all the answers...cuz they are all about me. I'm not being prideful either!!  Rules...the 1st person to post all the correct answers WINS! I cannot afford to send a box overseas...so this is for all who live here in the USA. Sorry everyone else.    #1. What do I do for a living? #2. How many kids do I have that live with me? #3. Name one of my dogs names/ #4. Name at least 2 of the members of RTH that I have personally met. #5. What is the name of the Book my brother and I published? #6. What did I go out and dig for while I was working in Bullhead City? #7. Name one thing in particular that I found while digging for Opal last June. (not just opal!) #8. What type of vehicle do I go out and do rockhounding in? #9. Who took me and showed me his Dinosaur Find near Green River, Utah? #10. What did I go and do for the 1st time ever on January 1st, 2008. That's it. A sneek previews of a few of the prizes. A nice delicate flower crystal inside a Geode.   Some of the pieces of Sherry Topaz that the winner will recieve.  |

I'm a non entrant too, but I wander if "Breathing" would qualify as an answer to question #1 ;D
Good luck to all, it sems to be a tough one, but the prize it's worth.

I'm sorry guys! The prize is those plus a filled flat rater.
Adrian: I hope the contest is just a toughie and that everybody is just not boycotting my contest because I'm not including everyone. And..."breathing" will not qualify for answer #1. Sometimes I even have to remind me of that!

Steve, I don't think this would be a reason to boycott your contest. Everyone knows his own budget. For me at least it would be a hoot to watch the "battle" from the outside.

Thank you! As I wrote to Steve, I really fell in love with the crystal flower. Once I started hunting for answers, I couldn't stop!
Barb, I had no idea you were so close! And Tony said he was, too. Which one was the most difficult? For me, it was the dogs' names.
Thanks again for the fun contest, Steve!

Congrats Amy! Wanna arm wrestle for the crystal flower?
Searching for answers brought up a lot more pictures/threads to explore (not related to the contest :-) That was fun -- Thanks Steve.

Congrats Amy.
Nice contest Steve.
I was up all night goin over old threads and got side tracked, everytime I found something I would have to read the rest of the thread.
It was fun, like goin through the old year book.
Tony
