This years trip started with a nights stay in Monterey after a long Sunday drive from the OC. We were up there for my wife's CTA Presidents meetings. She worked while I played. On Monday I went south to the Jade Cove area. I ended up at Sand Dollar beach Just a bit north of Jade Cove. Last year I loved this place and brought back some great "big" pieces. This year I came back with nothing super but still filled a bucket half way with a bunch of tumbling sized stones. The flies were so bad I left a little sooner than I expected. Highway 1 was a pretty drive. But it was down to one lane in a couple of places. Attachments:

The path to Sand Dollar beach. Easy going down. A lot tougher heading up with a bunch of rocks. Attachments:

Paul, We did have a great time. I have the "haul" spinning right now as I type. I was way more selective in what I brought back this time. I'll have to take pictures of the bins I put together from the trip.

Ha, hiking up those stairs with a bull bucket would be a workout! Looks like a fun trip, and interested in seeing the rocks. Also, what's at Sand Dollar Beach? More jade, or ?

Here's whats left of the haul. One full 6 pound run is in the tumbler now in the 120/220 stage. Just about all the rock was is the same as what I collected last year. Yes Susan, Same stuff as Jade Cove. I'll see how it all tumbles out. Attachments:
