I don't think I've ever seen a hollow sphere before.

Kind of neat.

Don will get over it. If not, I'll give him a Fairburn next time he gets out here. That should
calm him down, (right Don).

Wish I could Bob. Gotta start moving my mother in law into assisted living over the weekend. Then gotta get momma ready for knee surgery early next month. Maybe after spring thaw I'll take a road trip in the hotrod.

I think you took my wife agate hunting back in September 2011 Mr. Bob.
Y'all went for Faiburns, bubblegums,mud balls, and some field agate.
She was staying at the hotel for a dog show.
You picked her up and took her in a Toyota P/U.
She bought your book. You gave her a nice little Mexican geode.
Ring a bell ?
Thanks for taking her. She had a great time.

beautiful sphere

Yes sir. That would be her. We looked you up on the net. She took photos of your Badlands. You live in paradise.

She had a great time. Thank you for hosting.

gary95340: Hello, I read the Jasper Point post, 2009. I am part owner of the KAREN LYNN claim. It’s located in Hunters Valley. It’s a Jasper load claim. To my knowledge it is illegal to collect rocks in the Lake McClure area, owned by MID. Jasper Point is in MID Dec 7, 2024 23:57:23 GMT -5

gary95340: Jasper point is a geographic location easily located on a topographical map. It obtained its name, because Jasper was mined there at the time of the railroad. I visited the site by boat during the end of the last drought. Dec 8, 2024 0:08:15 GMT -5

amygdule: I like Jasper
