Welcome to a fellow Arizonian! We are having a great rock hunt tomorrow if you would like to go. Some members from Quartzite are going and it would only be about a 1 1/2 hr drive for you but well worth it! You will load up on rock!! Sheri

Welcome to the Forum! I was in your neck of the woods before Christmas, stopped at Colbaugh Processing on my way down to my mom's in early December. Maybe I can catch ya on the flip side this spring.

Nice to have you here, vwfence. I think I'd like walking around outside your back door. Sounds like I'd come back with my pockets full!

Welcome to the board. From what I've been reading Arizona is a great state to Rockhound and collect. I live in Washington but Arizona is on my list to visit soon. Looking forward to seeing what you post. Cheers, Matt

to hunt, of course! what else is there to do in AZ besides the grand canyon? joking everyone. Arizona and Nevada are some of my favorites places to hunt. The first of Feb. I will be heading toward Tahoe and Carson City. We will be heading towards Wonder Stone, Fallon where ever my sister in law wants to drive too. I real excited to get up to that area. I have only been collecting there once this past summer.
