Well, now that I’m back, I can’t believe just how wonderful a trip it all was. For a newbie rockhounder I could not have been with a better group of people. Jamie convinced me to stay a few days more and I am soooooo glad she did. I was already wowed by Burro Creek and the extra days were the icing and the cherry on that cake. So these are just some of the pics from the adventures with Rodney and Jamie. On our way to Katelyn mine (hope I spelled it right) we stopped at Jim’s rockshop to pick up some of his agate. Jamie called him just prior to get permission as he was closed at that point. We were also hiding behind a bush waiting for a cop to leave so we could cross the road. Started before sunset the call and the bush Rodney called to let us know he would meet up with us at the mine. As soon as he got there, he built us a fire. He also brought Taz and dinner. Turkey sandwiches, chocolate and carot cake. Man, you can’t ask for more! Taz You can't see it butRodney had to have tunnelled in his hole about five feet Me and the hole I dug. I thought I got a pic of Jamie digging but I didn’t. Shoot! Well, Sheri had told me that Jamie would make sure I came back with some good stuff and true to her nature, Jamie hollers from her hole “Lori, come here”. She had exposed a beauty of a rock and said “you have to dig this out”. It was her way of letting me “find” the good stuff. Lol. We got back home about 12:30-1:00 am. I was dirty, tired and so very happy. I’d take pics of the rocks but had to mail them back and am still waiting for them. part 2 in next thread

Lori............you sure have one beautiful smile! Must have been some good rock in that hole. I was feeling so sorry for that Logan was closed, and you HAD to stay longer in Arizona. Woody

Yeah I think Jamie is nocturnal or something, they like to go out at night, the vision I always have of Jamie is with her little miner light, LOL. I bet you had BLAST! J&R are true rockhounds to the core!

We never got to get as far as the mine so I'm jealous. I know how much fun it is in the desert with those two.
