Hi, I currently live in Portland, and there's soooo much awesome rockhounding here! I'm newish to the rockhound world, but am an obsessive learner! I've built a sweet little rock workshop and am looking to connect with people I can learn from!

friendofbil, Welcome. By all means tell us about your rock shop. We like to hear about toys (equipment); tricks; and resources. We all have distinct ways of storing rocks, unique, sometimes vintage equipment, and tricks that we have devised. I'm also building a work shop, but anxiously awaiting the installation of the door and windows so I can begin moving in from a jam packed garden shed. I can't move the saws in because I don't want to get in the way of the windows install. I don't want to move in the storage cabinets and shelves because security would be minimal without a door, even tho the windows are high enough to discourage entry. Frustration!

Welcome to the site. As a fellow Oregonian (St Helens) I continue to be overwhelmed with good advice and humor from this site. Folks are very patient and helpful with nearly everyone remembering what it is like to be a "stranger in a strange land." I hope we can meet and collect together some time.

Welcome to the RTH from another friend from Arizona.
You're in a great place up there to get into this new passtime.
