I was browsing through my old photos of field trips trying to find motivation to get me through to the end of the school year. As I paged through my files, I thought I'd drop some random shots of rockhounding sites I've been to over the last few years. If you have some photos of your favorite locations, drop your shots here. I think it would be fun (and slightly educational) to have a visual repository of sites across the United States (and beyond.) View from the Pisgah Crater moss/plume agate site discovered last year in the Southern Cady Mountains, CA Christmas Tree Agate - Southern Cady Mountains Hector Hills 'Pepto Bismal Hill - Northern Cady Hunting Landmark Acton, California - Nodules Wiley Well Region Black Agate T-Egg Site - Black Hills Main Digs - Southern Hauser Beds NEVADA The Sump - Near Coaldale Fish Lake Valley - Near Coaldale Enjoy!

Cool pics Lowell. Bring back lots of memories. Somewhere in the basement I have boxes of B&W pics of some of the good old hounding spots.

Hey Don,
If you ever need to purge yourself of the photos, if they're labeled, I have a home here for that kind of history....I'll even pay postage.
I love that historical stuff... I fear that much history of our hobby is lost when people move, have to downsize their collection, or when families don't value the hobbies of their parents.
Currently I'm writing a history of my Club (and in a lesser sense, one of our hobby) that dates back to 1944, and we have several boxes of slides of field trips in the 1950's and 1960's. I have thousands of pages of documents, including 45 years of our club bulletin, handwritten meeting notes, etc. Much of it is fascinating reading. I'm looking to add more to the archive.
I'm glad you liked the photos.
Lowell
