I was told about a place in Wyoming where a simple person (Me) could pick up the stones of Kings and Queens (Sapphires & Rubies) now you know I could not pass on a trip like that! We got in our little van and went on a long Bye Bye as my kids like to call it. We drove for what felt like forever then when the group stopped we were told the little van must stay here load up in the back of the 4x4 ok I said and in we went. We drove some more on what I have to call the 2 rut from hell again for a very long time. We came to rest at a place that looks like most of the places in Wyoming a place where Deer play and people fell unwelcome. We got out of the truck and started to walk UP UP UP. In a small cave like place I see it a wall of Corundum a small tear was caught in my eye my bum hit the ground and I sat in wonder of it my kids on the other hand started to high grade the holes as fast as they could but none would hit that wall full of gems. When my shock was over I got to digging and this is our story in pics for all our Rocking Pals here on RTH enjoy, Steph
PS: This was a chance of a life time this place is under claim and has been for 40 years I am the first person not in the family to be given a chance to dig I can not give enough thanks for this chance Thank You Beaver Boys!!
Sarah Jumps in!

Sarah at the wall!

Andrew thinking I can get you out of that wall I can I can!!
That is me after my brain found it's way back to my head.
My Friend Randy who got us in to dig.
Now for the good stuff the "Rocks" Ok The good stuff was above spending the day with what I think are a great bunch of kids
All of them in one shot this is about 4# of rock!
We had a great day and hope that we will get to go back again hope you enjoy seeing the joys of Wonderful Wyoming Thanks for looking, Steph
