Went to the Woodward Ranch for the day on Saturday. Stayed out there for about six hours. It's looking really good. The RV and camping sites are looking quite good and Jan has done a great job keeping the place up. The rock shop is really nice. Here are a few pictures of my short haul. Almost eleven pounds worth. This is a tube in the matrix. This is the tube after I removed it from the matrix. Here's some red plume also in the matrix. And here it is after I removed it. My haul. The top two biscuits I found attached to the lava rock. They were just barely sticking out of the ground when I was lucky enough to see them, so I had to dig around them until I was able to gingerly break to matrix around it and take them out. This is the shell of a once living grasshopper. It was stuck in between two rocks. At first I wasn't sure if it was alive or not, but as I looked closer, it turned out to be sort of mummified. Thanks for looking. Condor
