Geode Hunting


This weekend we had planned to go to Moab. However, we had a little trouble with our four wheeler trailer so instead we stayed home and fixed it until Saturday. Then Sunday we took it out for a spin. We went out to check out the Geode hunting out West by Dugway.

We started digging at the pit and we were having some luck. But then a nice old man came by and showed us where the jackpot was. So we followed him and sure enough there was a vein full of Geodes.

After a little while of digging and hunting Treg and Tia got cold and hungry. So Terry took them to the truck to eat while Bowdee and I went to town. We dug up 1& 1/2 buckets then Terry came and finished filling it up. It was cold and muddy but it was fun at the same time. Notice in the second photo there is no snow. By the time we left the ground was covered in the great white cold snow!

Sounds like you had some luck. I bet your kids loved searching for geodes. Thanks for the comments on my blog and I do get them. Yours mean the most.

I didn't even know there was such a think as Geodo hunting. Sign the Carr Family up as well. You could organize fun family outings and charge to take a group with you...I'd follow you guys anywhere. Happy Spring! (I hate snow in March...)
