I took not one image. I will soon post picks of my take. I go 6000 miles up in to the Florida jungle w/gator on one leg a moccasin the other all by myself dragging boat up and over boulder crushing shoals. And come back with over 100 photos shot from high bluffs and flesh ripping briers tearing away at me. And you come back w/tendonitis in your elbow from lifting too many beers. I am reporting this issue in grievance to the forum steward. Scott and Jamesp 2 different styles ![](http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4990748868479289&pid=15.1) P.S. Jamesp delusional according to wife

A word to the wise - DO NOT place anything on top of a tire on your vehicle, not even for just a second! Especially a GPS unit... As we pulled out of camp Sunday morning, I looked on the dash for it, and it wasn't there. Walked back into camp to look for it. Tommy said, I know what you're looking for! David had found it on the ground. I'm pretty sure we ran over it, but it still works. Just got a couple good scratches on the front of it. Good thing rock hunters were all around otherwise that device may never have been found. Can't believe it still works after a monster truck ran over it. Jean's truck(again) ![](http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4610339352480572&pid=15.1)

This has got to be seen. Perfect skit for sweet Jean and snake Scott That is going to be an addition to my vehicle. I bet our brave snake handlers would have a rude awakening too.

Meee Too. I have had limited time in deserts. All that wide open country looks inviting, and the variety of materials to be found is amazing.
James, a good practical joke is one of life's finest pleasures. I'll bet your hunting buddies would appreciate a peek. Bob might be the best choice, I think Virgil might ventilate your truck. . .

Bill, the video was hysterical! James, the one problem I see with this is I'd probably forget the fake snake was tied inside the hood, start the engine and wind it around the fan, lol! Had an acquaintance that was always pulling those other pranks in the videos - snake in can, rattlesnake eggs, etc. I was always on my toes whenever we visited. You know who I'm talking about, right Scott? I usually handle pranks well.

naw, not Scott. I tell you. That prank mighta gotten me an ass whippin Bill. Virgil is jumpy and nervous and very fast. And he played semi-pro football till he was 45. He is a Budweiser deliveryman and can still out sprint the whole bunch of young drivers. at 56. But snakes turn him into a little girl.LOL.
Your right Jean. That snake would end uo as an additional V-belt. That guy was out stone cold, dangit man.

Actually, i would like to see snake boy Scott open the hood of that truck.....
My buddy Cliff does that stuff all the time. He almost got me killed w/his stunts. He has a fluffy tail that looks like a cat. He had that dang thing w/him going into the Walmart. He pets it. He holds it in his arms like it is a long haired cat and pets it. Well going down the aisle and 3 black gals walking towards us are moving way to the other side to let us by. All the sudden he flings that thing at them and they darn near tore up the area getting away from it. When they figured it was a joke they came after us with a vengeance-mosty him. They were gonna kill him. He is lucky to be fast on his feet. Security 'interviewed' us and Cliff did some fast talking and fast apologizing. Bet that was his last time to pull that one.

Can't wait for more pic's Jean. Don't get frostbite though on my account! Okay, Mark, you asked for it! Went through the remaining finds yesterday afternoon, and got some pics. I think I got all the good ones in the last post, but some of these are okay. It had warmed up a little bit by late afternoon yesterday (so no frostbite!), and the sun even came out a little. Just finished processing the photos, so here they are, in no particular order. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14348A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14349A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14350A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14351A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14352A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14353A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14354A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14355A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14356A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14357A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14358A.jpg) This is the only piece of fluorite I found with purple in it, not much at that. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14359A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14360A.jpg) Nice colors, but probably a little grainy. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14361A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14362A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14363A.jpg) From the green rock quarry. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14364A.jpg) Same rock, back side. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14365A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14368A.jpg) Another piece of fluorite. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14369A.jpg) Haven't even cleaned this one off yet. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14370A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14371A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14374A.jpg) A small section of the rock below. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14375A.jpg) This is one of the bigger ones, probably 30 pounds? ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14376A.jpg) The other big'un. ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14377A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14378A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14379A.jpg) ![](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc333/jeanatrandjproductsdotcom/N%20Cadys%20Nov%202013/DSC14380A.jpg) That'll do it.

Thanks Jean, I could hardly wait. And I am not so sure Monday's pics are better. Those are great rocks!! Should make some terrific slabs and cabs. That one flourite looks like someone with square glasses on. Thanks for posting!
Can't wait to see Scott's pics! (Is it time to invoke the no pics, didn't happen clause?)

James, your guess is as good as mine, lol! @shotgunner got a similar sized chunk just like it! Kind of reminds me of a jello and whipped cream parfait. Parts of it are not real solid, but there should be a few nice slabs in it. Will have to join the rock club again, once they get their new shop set up, so I can use one of their big saws to cut it up. It weighs 44 lbs. Bob and Scott both humped a few big monsters down out of the hill. Someone had said they want to see slabs and cabs from these. Ah, it was orrum. (Quoted it because I just wanted to see his "green with envy" statement again, lol.) Give me a little time to let my split fingers heal up, orrum, and I'll get right to it! Edit - Scott, I hope you are feeling better!
