Thank You. Nancy!

I really try to do my best with the video. It’s hard! Lol

Haha! Me too!

Thank You very much! 😎

Rattle Snakes, my friend. Not “snakes”, just “rattle snakes.”

Thanks so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment. Please send me at email and I will respond with coordinates and more info. [email protected] 😎

Thanks so much for coming along with us on this little adventure. I’m on the final stage of tumbling and polishing a batch of the chalcedony from the site and will do a video soon showing it. I’m as excited as anybody! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Jared did find some amazing things and shed a lot of light on the type of rock and formation process. He published his video last week. You can find it on his channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You bet, John! Email me and I will respond with coordinates. [email protected]

Hahaha! Sounds like you really mean it! Lol

Thanks for watching and commenting. Send me an email and I will send you the location coordinates. [email protected]

Thank you so much for watching and leaving a nice comment. Shadow and I look forward to having you along on future Adventures! 😎

It truly is! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎

When it comes to these things, it's all about compromise and deciding what works best for you. These are easy to remove and put on. They are tough and I've never had a puncture or problem. I really like the product. Having said that, you can buy hardtops that match the color of your truck, are taller, fits tighter, etc; but you can't take them on and off nearly as easily. Tradeoffs. I really do like this product though!

Thank You so much, Diane! 😎

@adventuresofshadowdog you are welcome, but Dee Dee, please. 😃

So sorry. Thank You Dee Dee!

@@adventuresofshadowdog you are fine..

Thank You, John! Yes, the landscape is very Mars like. It would be the perfect place to film a sci-fi movie that takes place on Mars. 🤪

Thanks Dave. I’m probably getting a bit redundant! Thanks for watching and for leaving a nice comment. 😎

Everybody needs a Shadow or a Squishy! 🐶

@@adventuresofshadowdog I love your little Shadow adorable. What breed of Terrier?

Shadow is 1/2 Jack Russell Terrier and 1/2 Rat Terrier. I once encountered a hiker that asked me the same question. I replied that Shadow is 1/2 Jack Russell and 1/2 Rat. The hiker replied with, “you can breed dogs with rats?” Since then I make sure I insert “terrier” in the reply! Lol

@@adventuresofshadowdog Thats funny, thanks Lance

Yes. Happy to. Please send me an email to [email protected]. I will reply. Sometimes it takes me a day or two, but I will! 😎

Thanks Alan! 😎

Terriers have a lot of life and personality. I love all dogs, but am particularly fond of terriers.

Shadow is an energizer bunny for sure! So I primarily use my camper now, but I will always keep that tent for times that I need it. Camping with friends, or just for fun. I LOVE that tent and I also love the wood stove and the joys of heating and cooking with wood, etc. And it’s so spacious. As for the “best friends”, Shadow likes to crawl into the sleeping bag and go all the way down to the bottom and sleep. I have no idea how he breathes! I worry about him and lift up the top of the bag to get some air down there. But then I fall asleep and when I wake up he’s usually still down there as happy as a clam in a shell. Somehow he gets enough air! 🤪

@@adventuresofshadowdog Mimi used to like sleeping at the foot of any bed. I like your wood stove and how you put it inside the tent. I’m just nervous about cutting the tent. Your Capri camper is a definite must, I was just wondering if you still kept the Kodiak. Glad to hear. Great for emergency shelter. Tell Shadow hello from us. I have been battling Bronchitis and pneumonia since returning from Cambodia so no camping, boating or rock hounding trips for 3 weeks. I want to get out and find some interesting rocks. I found a really cool one in the river at Denali last year. I really enjoy the way you are able to shine up the rocks you find; very cool. K, done with my book here. Until next time.

Would love to hear more about Cambodia! Take care and get well soon!!!

@@adventuresofshadowdog It’s grown so much since I was there in 2009 and growing middle class is helping the people so much. Kep was amazing where we stayed at an awesome resort called Veranda Natural Resort. We visited every possible temple in Siem Reap where Anghor Wat is located. Hot and humid every day. 95 degrees with 85% humidity. I had an allergic reaction to multiple spider bites causing my feet to swell. I’m all better now once I received antibiotics here.

Thanks Brian! Shoot me an email and I’ll send you the claim coordinates. [email protected]

That’s a great question, Daniel, and one that you might have some suggestions. Short answer is, I don’t. I have my cell phone that I can use to capture coordinates. I have a satellite for emergency reasons if I’m out of cell range, and it too shows coordinates. But as for tracking, I just take mental notes. And my memory can definitely fail me! Any suggestions?

@@adventuresofshadowdog I don’t! Was hoping to find out from you! I think Jared uses OnX but not sure. Phones work well as long as you have a signal.

What an awesome quote! Thank you for sharing that. And thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. 😎

Hello Hettie! I bet there are amazing places to rockhound in South Africa. Would love to visit there. I’ll be doing a video soon showing the final polished product from the claim site. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 😎

@@adventuresofshadowdog o yes we have beautiful places to hunt! And i love nature, i really hope you can come and visit some day! Looking forward to your polished video!

Thanks Dave!

Thanks Kim! Really appreciate your comments and support. 😎

@@adventuresofshadowdog You're welcome! Thank you for sharing these amazing adventures with you and Shadow 🙏♥️

Thanks! I’ll check that out. I’m pretty sure it’s an error because I paid it. But I will call them Monday and confirm. Really appreciate you bringing this to my attention!

@@adventuresofshadowdog Yes, I was searching through the MLRS system for Lost Sock and it came up with a big red message at the top of the page. I believe it was dated sept 3rd.

Thank you so much Reed!

Is this outside of Cedar City?

It’s 30 minutes North of St. George off HWY 18. From Cedar City I would say about one hour as there is no direct route. Send me an email and I will send you the coordinates. 😎[email protected]

That is an amazing quote. Thank you for introducing that to me. Now I’m curious about John Muir. You’ve given me some homework! Thanks! 🙏

Thanks for watching and leaving a commenting. Boondocking is the best! It’s always an adventure and a challenge. And often there are amazing finds nearby. Especially in AZ and NM. Take Care!

That would be awesome to go dig some rocks together. Remind me what part of the country you live in?

@adventuresofshadowdog Salt Lake City, Utah. I would love to go down there maybe in late October/early November when it cools down. If not, early spring for sure. But shooting for fall time this year.

Let me know and we’ll go out!

@adventuresofshadowdog sounds like a plan, I will.😎👍

I agree! It is truly beautiful. 😎

Awwww . . . thanks Jan! Sure do miss seeing you. You should come visit!!!

Thanks! It’s always fun to go out and explore and Rockhound. And Shadow loves it too. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 😎

Actually this video was shot in July. The truck is still in the shop. Ugh! Hopefully done by end of day today. 🤞

@@adventuresofshadowdog oh shoot, sorry. This just popped up on my feed. Love the purple, my favorite color! 😍

Mine too!

Great video. Love the blue chalcedony. Can’t wait to get out there.

Thanks so much Daniel! Really appreciate the awesome comment and additional insight. Regarding Hobos, I sometime day dream of what that would have been like. Walking the railroad tracks and jumping trains. I remember my grandmother telling stories of how she would give them odd jobs in exchange for meals and sleeping in the barn. The railroad tracks were just below the farm and they would come up from there. She said they were never dangerous. Just poor folk looking for work and a meal. She had lots of stories like that. Your comment stirred up memories of those stories. Thanks so much for watching and leaving the comment. Take Care!

@@adventuresofshadowdog I remember hearing similar stories from aunts, uncles and grandparents. They were good folks basically, I’m sure there was a bad element too. I have always had a fascination with them and that era. They were free! I think sometimes more free than those that worked and tied down to a mortgage. It’s a good memory Lance! I do genealogy, my own family, I love the history and stories and the hunt digging it up. Cheers

To be honest, it is a steep and challenging hike to the top with a lot of loose rock. However, you can find smaller pieces lower down. But even getting to the lower areas requires some walking and hiking for a ways. Another area that is much easier to access is just outside Central, UT. The agate there is bluish, but a bit more difficult to find. I did a video on that spot too. Here is a link to it if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6PJaZqFe8eigJosi=o364wnF0l2-LaP60

I tried finding the Central site but couldn't find anything. I watch the video and try again.

Thank You, Mike! It was great meeting Jared and Sarah and we had a great time together. Thanks for watching! 😎

Wow! That was deep and very interesting. I look forward to your email. [email protected]. Thanks!!!🙏

Thanks for watching and commenting! Shadow is a great little Rockhound buddy and he loves loves loves these adventures. 😎

Hi Linda! Please send me an email and I will respond with coordinates. [email protected]. One thing: the claim site is in SW Utah, so it may be a bit out of your way if you are going to SE Utah. Thanks for watching!
