That was awesome, Jo!! I'd like to think someday I could travel and see all those places in retirement. You definitely are the envy of most of us, I'm sure. But it must be hard for a born rockhounder to live on wheels... Oh, Luuuuuuucccy! (for those of you to young to have seen it, the reference is to Lucille Ball movie, "The Long, Long Trailer," 1953.)

O woaw Jo !!! You just brought back rock’n memories !!! This rock is fabulous ! I haven’t seen it in 30 years! Here the story. I visited Monument Valley with 3 children in tow Brandy, Shelly & Tommy-- 7, 5 & 4 were their ages I had them get under that rock on their backs with their legs & feet pushing up. In the meantime I had large stick propped under that rock canter-levering it up. It looked like the rock had fell on the kids and the 4 of us we were lifting it. I had a great photograph of it but it got lost in the fire. Monument Valley another magical place Thanks so much it really was fine time!!!

LOL Jean, so many of the RVers I've met that found out I work with rocks have told me about that movie. I've never seen it, that I recall. I may remember it when I do. So many kind members here have offered to stash boxes for me. Good friends. At one point, all three of my sons were moving and I had to take them up on it. Now I can ship them back to my sons to hold. Not that I've been hounding all that much, Billy has gotten real lazy. GR, It is a thrill, but it does have its challenges. Ed, That sounds like an awesome pic. I wish you could photoshop them into this one. Maybe print this one out and draw them in under the stone with a Sharpie.

Jo, this is great. I just found the thread. I can't watch the video at the moment, but the pics are really cool. I've seen Hatteras before - probably 30 years ago or more, and had forgotten it! Thanks for post this, I'll have to check out your blog.

Hey Jo,
Why don't you swing up this way for the Celebration of Agates at the end of July? No hounding required!
