I couldn't wait to find any area of snowless gravel to satisfy my rockhounding addiction! Little did I know I would find several unexpected river gems! Stunning opalized wood and a colorful stone full of small crystals are two of my favorites! Thank you for coming along with Chopper and I on our rockhounding adventures!
