Rocks Can Be Exciting!

Wow sunny and nice... We drove down the road to a little trailer that was selling Cinnamon Buns (for $3.25 each) and got some for breakfast. After two days of pancakes we needed a break. Ken went off to his electrical seminar and I went for a walk. After Ken's seminar I joined him for the Fire Safety seminar. This was wonderful. Everything was covered from types of fires, how to escape and the importance of practice, and maintaining your fire extinguisher - which I didn't know you had to do... I got to use a fire extinguisher, which I had never done, and put out a fire.

After the seminars we went to the rescheduled Hot Dog Bash. Then we joined Glenn and Marcie and headed for the Pow Wow Gem & Mineral Show. There are hundreds of of dealers and sellers here from all over the world. We didn't know there were so many different kinds of crystals and rocks with treasures of tourmaline, peridot, and fossils in them. It was eye opening. We bought a couple geodes (rocks that have crystals inside). You can take the rock home, split it, and hopefully you have a treasure. Rock Hounding or hunting for geodes and crystals is really popular now as a hobby.

Back to camp there was a beautiful sunset over the mountains. Later we had a great spaghetti dinner with home made sauce at Glenn and Marcie's. Then we went to the Rivoli Patriotic Show. It was good. After the show we said goodnight to our friends. We'll see them before we go our separate ways tommorrow.
