I know what Jim feels when it comes to rocks, they have mesmerized me as long as I can remember. I never tire looking at rocks, in fact I don't know what it's like to look up when I'm walking 😁
I really dig, no pun intended, you bringing us along on your rock hounding adventures, and hangin out with sweet Jim. Adds some spice to your channel, and I continue to learn a lot of things at the same time it being just fun to watch.
I grew up in Barstow and have always loved collecting rocks, nothing more. I remember going to the gift shop at Diamond Pacific all the time as a kid. I drove past there last weekend to check it out, but it said something about the gift shop being closed permanently. I never knew they had a rock yard open to the public. One time in kindergarten, we had a field trip there and we each got to take back some cool specimens they had thrown in the desert that we had to look around for. I move back to the Hi-D in December and I hope I can get some cool rocks and petrified wood when I go back.
Wow a lot of Rocks,I like to be close to your place so I can go there every day Thank you for your show God Love+Bless and Protect you all the time Jim
OMG!!!! I can't believe you said that about howlite!! I have said that for quite some time! I don't think it needs any dye and it shouldn't be used to make fake turquoise because howlite is great on it's own. I'm trying to make it popular in it's white form because it's just gorgeous! it's so nice to hear someone else say the same thing!
Man I wish I would have known about this place when I lived in so cal 10 years ago. I will have to look you guys up next time we visit my parents in the IE. OMG I know exactly where this is. Used to drive by here all the time. I never know the Mojave desert had so many different rocks. I only ever found a bunch of cinder and basalt lol. Oh there are some cool fossil locations out there. Found a bunch of oolites.
Wow, what a magical place! 😍 Dave, you and Jim crack me up. I love rocks but laughing is the best. Thanks for sharing this! Can't wait to watch part 2.✌️🤠
