Our rockhound friends Barb and Ben have only 2 more days here at Saddle Mountain RV Park. We couldn't let them leave without finding what treasures this desert has to offer.
We found precious water and all it brings:
including this barrel cactus--rare for this area.
We found rock treasures in the form of chalcedony: some medium and large sized, some half buried,
most small and lying on top of the ground.
Some was opaline,
other pieces were crystalline.
Duane's pile.
My pile--who's the rockhound ?
I found one almost whole one.
Duane sawed it in half to reveal opaline and crystals.
One more day for fun before our friends head home.
Louise and Duane
