Hi, Lanny >Glad you liked the analcime– Well, it was a rather massive crystal compared to the other examples we had seen. <G> >I had a good time (at the meeting and collecting–even though the actual >collecting was a bit meager). Me too. It was great to get out in the good weather and see a bit of the country I'd never seen before. Tackling a tangled web of logging roads, getting thoroughly lost, and then finding the way out the other side has always held a special thrill for me. Most of the logging roads around my neck of the woods are 15 miles of bad road to a locked gate! BTW, the hike along the quarry at the edge of a 500+ foot dropoff didn't bother me a bit, but my knuckles were white again crossing the Longview-Rainier bridge on the way home. I wish I knew what it is with me and bridges! <G> Thanks again, Guy
