Sunday morning just needed to get out of here for a bit so we went for a drive. Kind of exploring, looking around. We've been over that way before but I kind of wanted to check things out a little. Parked the pickup at a likely looking spot and went for a little walk. Didn't spend a lot of time, had to get back and get stuff done. We found a few rocks to bring home. Unloading them today I took a few pictures of some of the better ones. Forgot the camera yesterday so no scenery shots-just picture Bighorn Basin in July. Sagebrush, opuntia, bunch grass, low hills, dirt, and rocks. I thought this one was kind of cute. Forgot to put anything in the picture for scale but it weighs 7.5 lbs. Kind of liked this little guy as well. 180 degrees Another that caught my eye-actually Cyndi found this one. 180 degrees One more. And I found some green rocks, too. Had to bring a few home to check them out. The numbers are the specific gravities. For reference the rock labeled 3.03 weighs 3 lbs. 1 oz. Think I'll have to head back over there soon. Jim, you're getting a PM in a few minutes. Thanks for looking. Russ

You found it my friend. WOOHOO Same size stones as what I find (found). I have way too many projects going to get out and hound but there is no way I am going to pass up a trip with good friends looking for good rocks. Jim

That is not the same as the brecciated jasper I showed to you. Way cool though. Jim
