Since Photobucket and I are having issues I decided to just post a link to the pictures I took on the trip to Planet Mine and Bouse, AZ last week. I wish I could get the individual photos to post but guess it just doesn't want to work for me today. Christopher (Christopherl1234), Lee (rockoonz) and his wife (hope I get her name right, Barbara?), Mike (Mudshark) and his son Mike, Brent (brent), and me (drocknut) went out on a trip to the Planet Mine and to an agate area near Bouse, AZ. Bouse is about 30 miles from Quartzsite and the trip was through some interesting canyons and scenery although I was driving so didn't get pictures of the scenery to and from the sites. We visited the ghost town of Planet (unfortunately all that remains is one building) where we hunted for chrysocolla then went to an area just outside of town for agate and jasper. Here's the link to the pictures (if it wants to work): s119.photobucket.com/albums/o129/sweetinmontana/Rocks%20and%20Minerals/Planet%20Mine%20and%20Bouse%20AZ%20RTH%20trip/

Looks like you all had a great time. Anyone post any photos of the finds yet? Maybe I just haven't found the thread ...
Thanks Paul

That's awesome. Love the scenery and the pictures of the collecting site. Man, I wish I couldda got out there this year, but one must wait for next year, I guess. (And, holy cow, Christopher gets around....) ;D Glad you all had such a good time....any way any one can post pictures of what was found? Lowell

Great pictures Lee, thanks for adding them to the thread. I haven't gotten around to even washing the finds from the trip so guess I need to get it in gear and get some pictures while I'm at it. I didn't pick up too much material since the quality wasn't really great for lapidary but I did get some chrysocolla and some agate. Will try to get my butt out and snap a few shots soon.
