As always, thanks for the fieldtrip report, Dicky!
The pics of your countryside out there are great to see!
The MASSIVE size of the mica and beryl blows my mind,
and that's a lot of rose quartz, too.
Very glad to see you've got time for rockhounding activities after all
you guys have been thru.
Why do they call it Devils Hole?
Thanks, Joe

Only reason I can think of for devils Hole is if ya fall off the side it is one heck of a fall to the bottom.
