Hi all. I'm new here. I joined a few days ago and have been lurking on all the threads just soaking up the sheer beauty and knowledge found on this board. I found you all by referral from Tony (I think his screen name is catmandewe). I ended up spending a day rock hunting with Tony and some of his pals from Idaho. It was a blast and in the course of our conversation (between wheezes as we staggered our way up some very steep hillsides while weighted down with a LOT of rock) he told me about this site. He's lots of fun to hang out with BTW! I'm brand new at most of the aspects of rock hunting, am working on my first ever cabs and am hoping to get into wire wrapping. Well, that's my intro for now. Hope to make some friends, learn some things and have some fun. Rebecca ;D

Welcome to the board, Rebecca! That Catman is a good guy and you are lucky to be able to go out and about with him. Good for you working cabs and getting into wire, make sure you post pics! Jo

Thanks for the welcome. I will indeed be posting pics as I get things rolling. And I'll be doing a lot of reading here and asking a lot of questions..... Take care, Rebecca

Thanks Tony. This saturday the boys, some friends and I are going to Succor Creek to get some more of that purple agate I was telling you about. If you all want to go you are welcome to meet us. The seams aren't huge but there are quite a few of them if you are willing to climb and do some hard rock mining to get it. I've got a piece of it here that has cream colored, brown and red moss in it. Another piece from a different seam has beautiful quartz crystals in a large vug in it. Very pretty. There are some blue and white seams nearby in the same area. Let me know if you want to go. Rebecca

Hey Rebecca,
Welcome to the forum. I am glad to hear you had a good time rock hunting with the group a few weeks ago. We will have to do it again sometime.

Hi John. I did have a good time out with you guys. I was sunburned for about a week and a half but it was worth it. Nancy, I'm kind of in your neck of the woods but I have to drive around two hours to get to Succor Creek so the neck of the woods is pretty big. Hee hee I'd love to go out again with the club or with a small group if you'de like. It was a blast. You probably saw my boys. They were part of the crowd of kids catching the lizards....
