Our McDermitt trip was a success! One of the best rock hounding areas I've been to, lot of variety and collection sites are close to one another.
Thursday morning started out a little shaky as the group leader broke down and had to return home. But I had a couple maps (thanks to Jhon P & Micheal H) so off we went. Once we figured the roads out we had no trouble finding the sites. The purple cow was hard the only site I struggled with as its disguised on the outside, the Feather River Rock club out of Chico, Ca was there that week and helped me out, what a nice group of people and well organized I was very impressed.
I managed to find some really nice opalized wood near one of the sites that didn't list pet wood, it was about 1/2 mile up the hill, it really nice looking wood I'd say would give the opalized conifer from Nephi a run its money in the color department. It was just peeking out at me, had to dig out everything we collected.
I'm only posting a few pics as I don't want anyone to know I'm a hoarder.
The last two pics are Father's Day presents from the kids a piece of Apatite and Black Hills Mica what a haul last week!
Keep your eye on the sphere section on the child board!
