The DU Lounge

in New England I'd go rock hunting!
My mom and I loved it! My sis was sort of meh, usually. My dad is think he sort of liked it bc he liked science, and he really loved my mom.

One time (a day trip) we went to Franklin
?NJ and dug or picked up florescent rocks. My dad got me a black light.

Then there was a time and it might of been here in NYC I found a rock studded with tiny garnets on one side. Unfortunately I at some point got bored w the color, and ditched it.

Finally- the best trip while on a week's vacation was Herkimer, NY and Herkimer Diamonds (double terminated clear quartz [points on both ends]]. I think my sis liked that one.

A bit disappointing in that the largest two i have are barely a 1/4 inch, most 1/8, ? 1/16.
Still I'd r[ather have that as a experience, than not.

I started looking up rock hunting in the NYC, close NJ area 2 yrs ago. I should try again m, and maybe prep for next May. We'll see.

Thanks for bringing up fun memories!
