    How cool! Love Rob's channel. Definitely a fave. I am so glad you got to go rockhounding with Rob. I cheered when you revealed he was your guest. Hope you get your 4 wheel drive. Maybe you can do some tours to help pay for it. Great story about the bear. Very happy to see a new post uploaded on your channel. 😊

      Hey Rachelle, thank you for watching and continuing to leave awesome comments. I'm working on the vehicle situation but can't really do guided agate trips without a vehicle. But a couple suitable vehicles might be coming available. Hey would you mind sending me a Toyota land cruiser "troopy"? 😁 I know they are population down there...! They are my dream vehicle! In return, I will send you an agate!😁

    Hey, I finally got a chance to watch your video. I've been busy editing and recording more stuff. It was fun to see the day from your perspective. My video will be out next week. I have a rock that I found that day in the tumbler that I wanted to include in my video, but tumbling takes time.

      Is the rock in the tumbler the one we couldn't decide if it was agate or jasper...the one with the unusual eyes or circles? I hope you had a good time despite the lack of you're lifetime biggest?

      @@upperpeninsulabeautiful I had a great time. I don't need to find awesome agates to enjoy a day on the beach.
      I'm tumbling the one that looked like Mary Ellen jasper that I found at the end of our hunt. It was mostly red jasper with some swirls and circles and a few areas with white agate. I ground out the worst parts on my cab machine and then threw it into the vibratory tumbler. It will be done on Friday, but I have another video that I might put out first. I kind of want to publish both this week but I need to space them out so I don't run out of videos. It's difficult to put out one or two videos every week for years.

      @@upperpeninsulabeautifulMy family is mostly in the Keweenaw area. McLain State Park is on Lake Superior in Hancock. There are lots of rocks there. I haven’t found an agate there, but I have found yooperlites…small ones since I visit in the summer. This probably also explains my agate-free experience :( I’ll have to visit in the spring some time soon when the rock picking is a bit better.
