Wow... what a great adventure last weekend... Woody got in touch with me and we made arrangements to go prospecting for amazonite... the day was outstanding, the weather was a perfect temperature, Woody's dog Aspen gave me the OK to be prospecting with the two of them, and off we went to Woody's secret spot. I say prospecting however Woody had already keyed in on great spot, told me exactly what to look for and in no time amazonite was coming out of the ground. I can't say enough about Woody's hospitality, he showed me where to go, even let me dig in a spot that he already had going, and carried down the rocks to boot... All in all, two thumbs up... thanks again for a great day...

(I reckon I might have to start being nice to Woody again, dang... need to quit 'ribbing' him) Ha ha ha, NOT! I even had to stay home this weekend. Still on heavy meds and need a step-stool to get in and out of bed. It seems I will be out of the fight for a while. I need to find another project to do around the house, sitting on the deck and looking at the mountains just doesn't get'er done. That is a good question about the red stuff. I'm sure Bill will have an answer. There has been a lot of pieces with red microline kind of marbled in, but nothing solid like that one. Sure thing on the Textile Gun. That is one of those things we could pass between us from time to time as needed. Have a good one, Woody. -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member
