OOOO The Owens Valley has a lot of history with earthquakes!!!! ROCKS!!!

ha ha! I thought you'd like that! Big 'ol Magnitude 7.5 - 8.0 in 1872. It produced a tsunami on the Owens Lake (15 meters deep at the time...didn't get sucked dry until 1915-ish).

Ihave been REALLY tempted to head to trona after that quake last month....... However... We have excavators at our construction site, and I hauled a NICE rock today!!! Quartz, but still, nice grooves...

I like that! I will have to put that on the list of considerations!

That's the second time I've been being goofy and come up with a good title.

Trona has cool rocks...if you get past the odor.

The people that live there have some tough tummy's!

You should check out Rainbow Basin near Barstow. Talk about cool rocks!!! mud-crack tuffs (ash deposited over mud cracks so the tuff has the imprint of the mud cracks on the bottom). And it is faulted and deformed like crazy!

I was simply BLESSED today.

I had two Wisdom Tooth extractions that should have been extremely hard, and they ended up being semi-easy... the roots should have broken, but they didn't.

What a blessing!

Some might call it LUCK!

It's a really neat area! Only about 15 minutes or so outside of Barstow. Here a link to the BLM page and better pictures are found at this site. If we go, be ready for some hiking (not too bad...just a decent walk to see some really cool features.

). Going with me may be dangerous though. I've mapped the area before, so I know it fairly well, and being a rock geek..well, I can go on and on out there!
