just started rock hounding and also some experimenting with some tumbling, carving , cutting and polishing any info or advice or recommendations for hounding near me. I have special areas I go, but would love to learn more and share mine.

Good luck, there's a lot of people on the board from the southwest, so I'm sure some will have some places to share.

Yuma was my spot to hit the dove opener. We always tried to make a point of hitting Imperial Date Gardens when we were there. It was always a fun trip.

Welcome from Northern Arizona!

Wish I could help you with hounding, but I've never even been down that far south.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

from hot and humid Spring Valley, just east of San Diego!

Yuma is a great spot to visit some old classic rockhounding areas. There are about a dozen spots in California between Hwy 8 and Hwy 10, and more in Arizona along the 95. Too hot for any of that now, but you're at the launch pad.
