*LMAO* Hornytoad Poppy Jasper. Roxy you kill me! Wish I'd thought of that! Know you're joking but actually, the whole Hornitos thing is pretty interesting too. Hornitos means "little ovens" in Spanish and Hornitos was a really rough little town where all the Mexican banditos hung out when not robbing miners. Full of hidden tunnels and fandango halls and even Joaquin Murrietta hung out there. Town got it's name because when folks were shot, stabbed or killed in any other manner, the ground was pretty rocky for diggin so the bodies were buried in rounded above ground stone crypts that looked a lot like a Mexican bread oven. Hence the town name.....Mel

Uh ... yeah.. I meant to say that! ;D lol.. See I love those extra Perks that come with rocks.. Every story I hear of, like where they came from or a little of their history of how they got their names.. even the mines...or creeks, I think that stuff is a Bonus!... Loved the story behind the rock.. sorry I gotta be honest with ya about the name... I just thought you just misspelled it on purpose... . no wonder when I told Jamie what kind of rock was on the bottom of that box all she said was HUH? REALLY? . lol.. But I think the name fits it better anyways.. cuz the patterns look crazy like them too.. Anyways thanks for the extra tid bit on them bread graves or whatever you called them.. I sure like those ol prospector stories! ;D
