Road Trip to Willy Wells
Yes, life does start at 7:30 AM to get ready for a rock club field trip to go dig for Geodes.
We formed a caravan in Q (30-40 vehicles) and left town at 9 AM
(Terry told me it left at 8:30, so of course we were there at 8:20 and waited).
I could have gotten an egg McMuffin at the big M. had I known.
But I suppose a piece of toasted 7 grain bread was better. It did have turkey on top. With a small fat free cup of milk.
We drove into CA on I 10 to the Willey Wells road exit 15 miles west of Blythe, CA and headed southwest...
and headed southwest forever, on some real back jeep trails, can I say it again, forever.
But just when I had given up hope, there we were.
See below the group pulled in and for the most part everyone ran to the hills.
They just took off, and away they went.

You would have thought it was Christmas and the presents were just a few inches underground.

Just might be a big one in here.                                          And look at this one...

They faned out to prospect for geodes with their picks and shovels.
Now these people were intense and having a great time.
It was a fun day and good drive way back into the desert country.
