Only if the politicians have to work, and rockhounds get the day off.

National Rock Day ! I mean... don't ya think we need a rock holiday? mostly What about creating a thread "2013 RTH FEBRUARY NATIONAL ROCK DAY" on February 28th, and inviting members to post a picture that has some sort of meaning to the month. Members could even vote to select the best rock for the year and the winner could receive a small treat. That could be done annually to formalize our holiday! ;D |

Hi Dora Excellent ideas! I nominate you head rock to take over that operation Ha Ha as a matter of fact being that it my thread/idea I give you complete authority Back when I was young rock newbie on RTH I started a thread called "Rock Day" , I think It was push then to make February 28th National Rock Day It got varied response-- as I recalled ya know... it sort of regional thing perhaps that thread could be found? hint mostly |

I'm too green yet to accept such an honorary position, only been here 4 months! Remind me next year and I'll do it, perhaps by next year I'll get a golf sized California gold nugget to lure our dear members into participating! ;D

That's real interesting Beef! Just a few weeks a go I took pictures of rock balancing act in Phoenix. I'm hesitant to post the pictures being that I don't have the owner's permission but its a public display so here a sampling  Its a premier set up with about 40 of theses structures I searched the web site to see if this person was included but found no mention Maybe, if I was on Facebook? Anyway this is something that needs to be done on Polk St it will blend right in Ha Ha rockscaper mostly |

When I was young, my Grandmother had a farm out in the country. When we drove out to see her we passed a bridge that always had rocks stacked on the wall. We always looked for the rocks and delighted in seeing new stacks appear after some fell for unknown reasons. This went on for years. One time we saw a piece of paper and a pencil sticking out from under one of the rocks. Apparently other fans of the rock stacks had asked questions. It turns out that a farmer's daughter of a nearby farm had been the culprit. I passed by that bridge as an adult and was sad to see the wall empty, but I have been responsible for creating a stack or two in various places when the idea strikes me.

Not this year. Hanging around the east coast waiting for our brand new grandbaby to arrive in about a month.
Beef, I love the pictures in that blog you posted. The next time I'm playing in a creek I'm gonna try it.
I think you're onto something Ed. Great balancing act!

;D Awesome balance! I also like the antique hand cranked rock tumbler!  I have made so many hearts that I think I could do it in my sleep. I wonder if, in trying to get a nat. rock day, how many people would assume it was about rock and roll... NOW! How many of you have knowledge of your STATE ROCK? (California is Serpentine. Hah... Asbestos, ASBESTOS?!?!?) SO LETS GET OUR REPRESENTATIVES ROCKING! Write it at your Rep's website, "Nat. Rock Day, Feb. 28, MAKE IT SO!" It would prolly be simple, something they can pass quick to make it appear they are "getting things done" in D.C. lol Telling my Rep! |
