Well, those two are out. NEXT!
Might work for intermediate, but did not help edge off 8k tonight. So I went to Africa! Two fresh ZG jobs on the sink prepared for a showdown tonight.
These rocks were from 10 miles away. I think my stepping stone was better. I'll start numbering them, because good gravy it would certainly suck to get mixed up and work up a bunch of the wrong rock. Or to forget where the good one came from. Note to self: Limit reconnaissance runs to one or two places per trip, and make notes.
See, this is from one end of the cut over there too. There's a whole different layer a little further down.
One problem is that all of these locations are on the grade (of 8-16%). Parking and walking gets long in some places. Hey...now i'll have another reason to stop the bike and get off on the hills (usually for oxygen- huff puff), now to "look at some rocks". Will suck going down, no forget that, I don't stop going down the hill.Last edited by WadePatton; 02-24-2014 at 03:22 AM.

Thanked: 4830I hear you on that. The guy that rock hounds with is kind of funny, in the humorous way. The last time we were out I had climb up a short slope and them a little ways up a rock face and was prying out a rock for near the base of a large over hanging rock, he said "Is everything ok at home". We came up with a new system on marking where rocks come from. It is a little complicated to explain the details of. Basically it is a distance reference combined with a geography reference that get marked on the rocks with chalk initially and then paint pen when they are dry and in theory that will also be on each hone in paint pen.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
