We are David N Debra Kirkpatrick of east central Indiana. We are 70 & 69 and retired for three years. We RV to the desert southwest in winter after many winters of sliding and shoveling. Just last year visited the Safford area looking for fire agates. The only one I have comes from the Tucson Gem show in Feb, but we plan to keep looking for our “surprise”! We did find some nice chalcedony and I have been practicing carving with a Dremel tool. Finding that very rewarding. I have also tried knapping of things like obsidian and chert. Not been too successful at that, so far. Takes a lot of practice to hit just right! We thank God every day for our health and the modest resources we have that allow us to follow this dream. Wishing you all happy trails and safe travel from wherever you are to wherever you want to be!
