Post Christmas Wind Storm

Since we had a Chinook, all the mud that can be, is trying. The ice is still coming out ahead every night. So there is some wind coming. As my Dad used to say, batten down the hatches. Thats one good thing about selling rocks, they are very hard to let die.

Not that I expect anybody out there collecting jasper before the road work starts next week, but be for warned. (You only get so many surfaces to check for the 1 in 1 million cobbles of the good stuff.) I found a huge 10+ lber Orange with a little green around the outsides and a druzy vein out all by itself not being a ventifacts ash rock. THAT is the other specimen Im getting before they roll the debris across the highway & rebuild shoulders (Past where the new Geothermal Power plant in NOW finally being constructed). Ventifacts of eroded ash cobbles that are not that heavy to carry. The red ones are solid and heavy to carry. I prefer the ones i can lift into my car at the highway for those LOL. I'll landscape my house yet.
