Richie, You get it built and I'll help you haul some big ol' Jasper boulders out. Definitely something needed to get the bigguns! Steve

That piece of "gravel" would make one hell of a watch fob. LOL

Yea, some people seem to think that this material is lost and gone forever. Imagine, and extinct rock. Haven't they ever heard of erosion? You're not allowed to remove any rocks from this area anymore.....Bulls@#t
That'd be a helluva pocket watch Pete.

Stoner: I've heard from some rockhound friends that the rangers at that county park are real lie-in-waiting, fine issuing rock Nazis too. Apparently they get their "rocks" off catching horrible, evil, rock grabbing collectors who dare trespass on their own personal preserve for the purposes of collecting Guadalupe Jasper.....mel

Yea it is happening all over- they just don't realize that by Halting small scale collection (I'm not talking about opening a mining operation!) they actually make the rock MORE desirable (no you can't have it!) thus driving up the price and making the risks worth it- Happened in the Petriefied Forest- Happened in a lot of the Jasper mines in Oregon- happening all the time
