    This rock hounding resulted in me reading two books by John McPhee in less than a week, 'Basin and Range' and 'Rising from the Plain'. He has a four book series on geology. Very enjoyable IMO. Nothing directly related to hones except that geologists drive poorly as they go through road cuts also.

    I just got 'Annuls of the Former World', which is a compilation of the whole geology series bound into one book, out of the library.

    I haven't read those books by McPhee, but I really enjoyed 'Coming into the country'. I'm going to have to look up some more of his books. I may not find any hone-worthy rocks, but I'll get some good reading in.

    The recent 'TV show on JNATs' put them in the Permian. I have no idea if this is correct. I don't really think this way when stone hunting.

    Picked up a couple Colorado slates to play with on a recent camping trip.
