James, don't give me a rock hammer that big!!! I'd mash my entire hand instead of just my thumb, lol! 
You will notice when I get the rock pics up (very soon!), that the booboo is not visible in most photos. Painstakingly hidden, you might say. And I haven't worn boots like that since my motorcycle riding days.

Yeah, right! They'd take one look at those, laugh heartily (do they have hearts?), then melt me down with a ray gun or something.

Great report and cool pics. It all looks like fun except for the blood blister.

They must be tough. Which one? The biscuit shaped agates, or the aliens, James? Leaving those behind would be a little tough, lol! |

When i first went to Texas i was told to look for biscuit shaped rocks. Sure enough the more biscitized the shape the more likely it was agate.
And it was said that those are the shape of gas pockets in the lava that filled w/agate.
The more i thought about it the more i thought they were from alien origins.
And to this day, i look at all the various agates y'all have and i am convinced.
No way that many weird patterns came from a lava bubble. Are you kidding me?
And something ate all the foliage. Had to be martians.
Oh yea. The splinters. They booby trapped the ground w/tire piercing needles.
I learned not to go driving thru the brush like we do here. I replaced 4 radials when i got home.
Must have had over 100 splinters sticking into the inner wall of the tire.
Mesquite, opuntia, hawthorns? dangit man. I'll bet Snuffy and Carlos are laughing.

I'll have to see if I took any pics of the general area. Lots of round or potato shaped rocks, but most everything was covered with desert varnish. Like this fossil (alien wearing helmet, James' favorite): 
Shiny, blackish/grey, coating everything. Some agates escaped the coating of desert varnish, but in typical agate fashion, you had to window them (strike carefully with rock hammer) to see what you were getting. After, oh, about a week, I realized which ones were going to be cool, and quit hitting them (and my thumb, lol).
Edit to add - Why would aliens come from a gazillion miles away to eat desert plants and cactus? I wondered how the dang burros stayed alive eating those sparse pickings. But they survive, someone in our group saw a momma and baby burro (jenny and foal?) on January 4th, and I heard that last spring, a mountain lion killed a foal.
The tire self destructed on the highway, did not have any problems with cactus/sharp rocks on the dirt roads. Have had flat tires at Wiley's Well/Hauser Geode Beds in the past, but only if you get a tire off of the road (oops, it wasn't me!). |

Yes gemfeller. But Jean is in cahoots with them and constantly denies her involvement. Be careful what you say.
She made 9 cabs in 7 minutes. She has alien machinery stashed in her garage.

Seven minutes, I wish! More like seven days... Even taking my time, I have one interesting rock I slabbed and cabbed that has some flat spots  . Will have to re-do it when I have time. Maybe I'll post a pic of it, see if anyone knows what it is.
Alien machinery? Not hardly. It may be old, but not alien. James, you'd know what all of it is if you saw it, I'm sure. I just don't have any huge rock tumblers, lol!

And I thought they just liked the desert as much as I do!

James, you say that like it's a bad thing... If I were a martian, I'm sure I'd have no interest in crazy earthlings that collect and buy rocks, lol! You know angels are not of this planet, right?
She has alien machinery stashed in her garage. And your alien machinery is - where? In a greenhouse where the neighbors won't see it??

Point well taken. You can straddle that alien grinder and it will take you into the sunset.
Big difference between an alien and an angel. I know which one Jean.....
Aliens need the minerals from the rocks. So they collect. My theory. And then they eat them.

jamesp- "The Price Ranch Self-expressions Cabbing Machine". Jim get someone to walk you thru using a 20 penny nail and super glue to dop up a piece of coral (oopsie I just did that myself) and get this working on it. You will be a cabbing fool. Jim you have the tools and the materials. Your cabs WILL SELL.
