The wife and I went on a little camping trip with my son and his wife and kids this last weekend. We were in southeast Idaho for 3 days and we got a chance to ride the 4 wheelers on Saturday afternoon near Soda Springs, Idaho. This is me, unloading my Quad from the truck. Froleft to right are my grandson, my son, my granddaughter's friend, and my granddaughter. My granddaughter, getting set to ride. While riding just about a half mile from the truck, I was surprised to see what I thought might be an agate protrucing from the dirt in the middle of the trail. when I got off the quad to check it out, I found that it was mostly buried and was much larger than I first thought. That's the biggest one I've ever found and I'm tickled to death to have been that lucky. When I got it home I put it on the scale it weighed 26 pounds. It's at least triple the size of anything I've found yet. That created a whole new problem, it's too big for my saw. I guess I'll just leave it as is for now, while i think about just what I'm going to do with it.
