It was a bit to take in when we were there..the guy said we would fill our buckets up quick and he said he would be back in about 45 minutes.. I could have easily filled them in 10 minutes..lol . But old hound likes certain things if you know what I mean.. My wife sent me these pics ... You can see on the hillside it is just littered with it...

Wow John, I’m so sorry to hear you lost your folks. I really feel for you and wyobrian bro. Rock Karma has to be a positive step forward in the healing process. It looks like you and the Missus had a great trip and found some righteous looking Keokuk rough! These are geodes with lots of crystals inside, no? Have you cut any of them open yet? Thank you sir. There are crystals and solid formations and botryoidal formations. I just cut a few open this morning...

Thanks everyone .. we have been doing pretty good. Brother Brian is doing good ,he is still up in Wyoming and dose some occasional hunting.i was up there in May and we hit the agate flats and cedar rim area . Crazy life happend . our Mom passed away suddenly at the end of 2019 and Dad died in a car wreck in June of 2020 it hit pretty hard and took the wind out of us for a bit..we found out just before dad passed that three kids we grew up with were our half brothers and sister..Ancestry , bringing skeletons out of the closet since day one..but that is a story for another day..lol Rock Karma..I was thinking of this a few weeks ago.might have to resurrect it sometime Beefjello.. When I was in Iowa I did stop and stay in Keokuk .we went over to Hamilton Illinois to Jacob's Geodes and did a bit of hunting. Pics are of the dig site .my wife and me in selfie form..lol.she found her first one in about 10 minutes.me getting down and dirty and the haul..we had a blast.. Well hope yall enjoy the update ...

Good evening!.Yes i did everything in my vibe. It helps keep the shape .As for hunting ,right now is perfect. The rains have slowed and the creek beds are drying out .Usually October November parts of December and February to late April. But if you can stand the heat anytime is good lol.

Real nice build Rob..Do you think plasti-dip to coat the rollers would work ? I don’t know.. Can it be painted on, or do you need to dip it? I’ve never used the stuff. Rob, I know they have spray on ..they also have one to dip your tool handles in ...so you could possibly use a brush to apply..I might have to do some experimenting...
