'splorin.
A couple of weekends ago we went out looking for some Geode beds in the desert. Got a few good pictures of the adventure.
On the way there, I was specifically looking for the wild horses. Found 'em
Had to drive to the top of a mountain to see them up close. No real problem- with the 80.
Kids playing on the equipment at the geode beds
Sun setting over the desert
High view of the west desert. There are hundreds and hundreds of dirt roads that lead who-knows-where. Pick one and drive..

Yes, yes it is.
10 years there was enough, I find myself sitting on my back porch just STARING at the mountains.

I used a wet saw to cut the geodes open today. I'll have to take a pic of some of them tomorrow. They are really nice. I'm just too tired right now....

I"ll see what I can dig up. You can start by dipping the entire truck in a can of white paint.

Geodes.
Geodes are formed as air pockets solidify in lava flows. After a while the ground water seeps into these air bubbles in the lava and bring with it minerals. The minerals show up as the sparkly stuff.
