Our rock club had their annual picnic. This year it was held at the Bluebird Mine on the California side of the Colorado River. The mine is no longer active so its a great place to go rockhounding. The rock that they mined was kyanite. If you look closely at the rocks you can see the blue crystals. It was used in porcelain. We also looked for almondine garnets. These are garnets that are a brownish color and not usually very pretty. One guy in our group did find some large garnets inbedded in a piece of quartz rock and they were a very crystally brown.
We are busy trying to find a good walleye lake to fish this summer and hopefully find a job at a resort on the lake. We are looking in South Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan but it is kind of slow going. We found good lakes but not good jobs or good jobs but not good lakes. I'm sure we will find something soon.
