As you all know I have been out of work for awhile now, and while this is no sob story, it is a pain in the rear when there are things you want in this world.....All summer I have been saving extra little monies I might have so I could get some things I wanted for this hobby of mine. This thread will include some of those things.
First off, I have wanted to get up to Lake Superior to do some hunting, and while the trip was not lucrative in the rock area, it was none the less an amazing trip, and we had a lot of fun hunting somewhere new. Mind you, this is my VERY FIRST rock hounding trip away from home, so I needed a little help with where to go. Northshorerocks was ever so kind in sharing one of his favorite hunting areas, many many thanks to him!
This guy....he just was in the way...he had the audacity to drive the speed limit! Could he not tell that I was in a hurry to get to a new hounding spot? What is wrong with him?
Not sure if this will be a close enough shot or not, but just had to take a pic of the "agate capital" sign for Moose Lake
Some Minnesota scenery shots along the way
Finally, we got to the area of hunting, where we found a few small agates, but Northshorerocks pretty well has this hunted out right now! THppppbbb!
I was short on time allowance, so only had 2 hours to hunt.....uggghh! BUT, then we went up to the Lake shore
And while my son and his girlfriend walked out to the lighthouse, my husband fed the birds.....
We took a long drive up the coast line, what a beautiful place to see! This water is so big, and so blue........
Then it was time to head home...what a bummer...but it was fun anyway!
Now for the new toys. Husbands in there playing with this as I type this up....
And I find these at Fleet Farm for 10.99! My new wire wrapping tools!
This is another steal I found, this cabinet is about 6 feet long, and almost 7 feet tall, solid wood. To give you an idea, there are over 100 shped cake pans on those shelves! Guess what I paid???!! 20.00 (twenty)
And just cuz a lot of others have, here is my room for rocks, cakes, and whatever else I may get myself in to:
That's all folks. I'll try to post pics of the rocks we did find sometime this week, although most are goin to aunuts!!!
Thanks for lookin'!
