Geode Hunting








On Saturday, Doug and I went with Scott and family to the Dugway Geode Pit. From Springville it was a LONG and dusty 3 hour ride on a mostly dirt road. On the way we stopped and took pictures of a Pony Express stop. They were all along the road we were on. We also saw a lot of Antelope roaming the hills. Once we got there it was fun digging for the geodes. Doug found the biggest one. We got buckets of them, and it will be fun to see how many actually have beautiful geodes inside.(Scott said that usually about 1 out of 10 has the pretty insides.) We have to rent a rock saw or a tile saw. I will post when we do that. The kids seemed to have a good time. The wind was awful, and got into our eyes, but all in all it was a fun day. I love doing something new.

I hope you find beautiful geodes in all your rocks, then you can give some to everyone! Looks like you had a lot of fun. Wish we could have gone...
