Title: first from the gratz pit 2014
Post by: bowtarist on April 20, 2014, 10:32:57 pm

Broke most all the rock I've hit this year so far. Indian buddy says it's too cold still. Put my rock in the sun on Saturday morn and got these two out of it for sun down. Got a start anyway. Thanks for lookin, dp

Just like riding a bike, you didn't forget how. Looks like a couple keepers!

The one on the left may be some of your rock cowboy. One buddy of mine said he thought it might be rhyolite. I ain't forgot about you either.

Thanks Tracy. I'm about ready for a rock run too.

One good whack deserves another.
Good to see you have broken the "frozen blues"
Less than a week ago I drove through 32 - 30 degrees and 1 1/2" of snow in the Beckley West Virgina area. Came back through today and no trees have budded yet.
I think this is where Mullet secretly wants to live.
