 The best rock hound in Mississippi has come out west to show us how it is done. She's uncanny  , finding two pieces of jade with her feet alone  when I only found four additional pieces all day . This was an exploration trip to try to establish the upper limit of jade in the stream and explore. The obligatory early morning beach jade stop started the day.

 We found a waterfall with plunge pool which was fantastic. From up stream we could see the top of the waterfall and it looked to be about 100 feet tall. We found lots of clay cliffs along the stream and there is a nice picture of laminated clays from there.

The tree they are standing in front of in the last pictures is a pacific silver fir.

Just look at all of those cobbles, WOW! What is that big rock that the BRHIM is sitting on? Looks a tad bit big to take back on the plane.

wow. wish i was able to play too......:(

The big sitting rock is a sculpted piece of dunite. In the foreground you can see  the unweathered green of the rock where the most erosion is happening wearing away the ever forming oxidation rind.This is the first "sharks fin " erosional pattern on any rock.

Wow!  Looks like everyone had a blast!   
If I ever get up there again during the non-winter months I'm hoping to get some hounding in.
I love seeing Helene SMILE!  You have such a beautiful smile Helene!

did you take time to chip away layers of that clay looking for fossils?

I asked for Monday off, boss told me to go (bad word here) myself.

That looks like a trip that would have made my year. Good on all of you.

I had a boss like that at the last job I had back east.  He almost put me into a grave.  It wasn't a good situation.  You could say my Husband rescued me from that.  Hang tough Randy, it will get better.

I admit it, I am jealous.  It looks like it was a REALLY good day.
