The weather in Arizona was perfect for rockhounding and meeting a great bunch of rockhounds.I enjoyed every minute of my trip but when I got off the plane in Hartford it was back to Connecticut weather.Zero degrees at the house followed by some more ice and snow and then a lot more snow.Lucky for me the Mailman brought me a big box of the stuff we collected at Brenda and boxed and shipped by Catmandewe.All my rocks have been buried under snow for a few weeks now.

Next year I think I'll stay a little longer!
