Rain, river crossings, bears....nothing will stop Chopper & I from the adventures of rockhounding! I made a mistake of not preparing to my usual extent as unpredicted weather rolled into my river adventure. I called it an early day to get to safe ground but headed out the following day. When I searched the gravels closer to my vehicle, I was able to bring a wagon along for storage, however, Chopper seldomly let me use it as he decided it was his afternoon break pad.

I really wanted to find several rocks that could be displayed without cutting or polishing. I believe I succeeded; however, I feel I need to get back out there to find that something special I know is out there. I'll know it when I find it.
