yesterday I got a huge box in the mail from Paul Shiroma. Inside was the most wonderful and fascinating tour of California geology. Included with all the rocks he sent
there was a map and detailed explanation of when and where each rock was collected. The beautiful rocks were labeled and had co-ordinating numbers on each of the maps
so that i could see and visualize each location, and knew where to search for more information. I will be going over each rock and searching the internet for more information about the geology of Calfornia for days. Wonderful project now that the weather is turning cold and rainy. I also suspect I can see a lot more photos of some of the locations here on the forum, since I have enjoyed the posts Paul makes regarding rock hounding trips with family for quite a while now. This is such a wonderful and well thought out, brilliantly executed idea, and i am touched that Paul Shiroma would go to all that time and trouble for me. Thank you so much, i will derive
hours of pleasure in the research and learning, and will re live that every time i look at your wonderful specimens on my shelf.
can't say thank you enough!
