Cool 😎 rocks. I just love seeing younger people exploring and expressing the wonder that comes from seeing this world.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you. That was a very nice comment

[@donnabuckley5137]

Wow beautiful rocks , wow Charlie I’m glad your cancer free , I lost my son Christmas Eve 2020 to stage 4 melanoma cancer he was 32 ! Be safe in the sun !

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Donna, I am so sorry to hear that you lost him so young. Both Liz and I are cancer survivors. We live our lives the best we can for those that cannot. Big virtual hugs to you!

[@donnabuckley5137]

He loved the outdoors and adventures ! I’m happy you both are survivors and living a adventure life that you both love and Thankyou for sharing !

[@michelleharrell8452]

Rock formations are fascinating. Always been fascinated by rocks & the formations of mountains, etc. wherever you can observe fascinating formations. Stop & take pictures.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Nature sure is amazing. Thanks for watching.

[@upnorthadventureswithccc]

So sorry to hear about the skin cancer and so happy to know you are cancer free now ! Your adventure on this one was totally amazing. The beautiful rocks~wow !! Any rock hound would be jumping for joy to find them kind of beauties. I just hope you did find room in the van for them "for all of them" :) Thanks for taking us along, enjoyed very much :)

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you. I was glad to be healed up and given the all clear from that situation. Liz has survived cancer too.. Life is good. Now we get to find cool rocks and enjoy life. We definitely filled the van with some treasures on this trip too.

[@kendramanuel1276]

Ohhhh my goodness!!!! You definitely hit a fantastic spot. GORGEOUS 😍🥰

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Epic stuff! Thank you for watching. Have a great day today!

[@wilbondcajunrockhound5758]

that was a crazy spot , that maybe the coolest mix of rocks in one lil area i ever seen , i could have filled up a dump truck with rocks , liz probably had opal bottoming out with her finds . that was nice

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Hey Will! Yeah that spot was nuts. We got a lot of really neat specimens and weighed Opal down good on that one!

[@mria621]

I’m watching your old videos with the sound off while I work! It’s so nice!! ❤

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Hope it helps the work days go by. 💜

[@singalaras]

Very big stone,...👌👌👌👌

Yes! Was pretty exciting to find.

Oh my goodness those rocks are so beautiful!!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

That spot was mind blowing! Thanks for watching.

Owsom beutiful stay connected

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you!

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Those formations are amazing! The material is awesome!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you. We were in awe of the area.

[@cyncitynv7413]

I've been to Crystal geyser at Green River in Utah. Beautiful scenery in Utah

[@TheAdventureCloset]

That place is so cool. The flow stone waterfall was our favorite.

[@kylaabegglen1275]

Wow! Really cool video guys! The geyser is awesome. That big ball of webs boulder is amazing!😍 All of the botryoidal, druzy, crystals and that banded white stuff is so beautiful. The banded stuff might be banded calcite, I looked up picks of banded calcite and found one that looks just like it and it said it was found in Utah. The finer, more needle like crystals that look fragile might be a different form of calcite or something in the same family anyway. Such an phenomenal discovery and wonderful finds! I'm still catching up on your previous videos. Thanks for sharing Liz and Charlie! Take care.✌️🤠🤘

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you! Yes, you nailed it. After making this video and learning a bit more it turns out this was some lovely banded calcite. It's still the most amazing formation we've found on our own. Thanks for bringing back this sweet memory for us! Utah has some crazy stuff.

[@dandickinson1003]

Beautiful scenery! Great camera shots! Super cool rock formations!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you Dan! This was such a unique area. The video before this was at an abandoned nuclear site in the same area. Lots to see there.

[@sandraabshire4923]

Amazing rock formations!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you. Crazy stuff!

[@Shannon_Michael_W.]

Super duper cool finds. What a cool area some of those rocks look like candy. And they were everywhere. Great video 🙂

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you. It's so weird how rocks look so much like food sometimes. The layers were very cake like.

[@jeytex3161]

Ahhhh, the kids in a candy shop. What a wonderful experience out there!!! Thanks for sharing it with us and hey, maybe you can map and send the site to one of the rock hounding authors to include in their updates. Thanks again!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you. We love Utah for finds like this. Good stuff everywhere.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

So I actually met my wife Ashley because she had skin cancer! I took her pre-op chest X-ray. She’s cancer free and we try to take sun protection very seriously. Anyway… that geyser was FASCINATING! I didn’t even know natural soda water geysers were a thing! You gotta come to Missouri sometime. I can take you to so many places that have similar formations. As awesome as that was… it was just like a tiny preview of what you can find in southeast Missouri. Haunted Ridge is basically 200 acres of that type of material. And… it’s just one spot! It’s all over southeast Missouri. Hydrothermal veins have been documented in Washington county that are 70 feet thick! You guys HAVE to come here! Whenever you head East hit me up! Arkansas quartz south and one of the best locations in the world for geodes to the north. Missouri and surrounding states are an absolute BONANZA if you know where to look 👍🏼

[@TheAdventureCloset]

What a crazy way to meet your wife. Glad she's ok too. We would have had no idea Missouri had all that until watching your vids. We are so intrigued now and would definitely love to meet up when we get back that way. Hope you guys didn't get dumped on too much with snow this week.

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

What a great video! See a lot of my fellow favorite rockhounders in your comments. Glad I found your channel! I chose this video first because I have a good friend in Utah and he finds amazing rocks too. I can't believe how incredible that little mountain was, just so many cool rocks and interesting geology! I've actually been worrying lately about a spot on my back and already decided to call dermatologist tomorrow but your comments about skin cancer has me more concerned. Glad to hear you are cancer free. Look forward to all your upcoming adventures. Hello from Wisconsin!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Funny we hadn't bumped into eachother sooner then! Utah has some of the best rocks we've seen. We're living in our minivan about 80% of the time but when we're not moving WA is home. Get that spot looked at friend. The sooner the better so you can get back to playing in the dirt.

[@servant2478]

Did you walk there from Geyser?

[@RagnarRocks]

Wow! Dang! EPIC spot to come across! Good rockhounding instincts! "I'm bronzed out" - Charlie 🤣

[@TheAdventureCloset]

You know, gotta look good for the youtube! 🤣

[@RockhoundTreasurehunt]

Very exciting to come across such a fascinating form of beauty and awww!! Awesome discovery and great specimens! I'd like to thank you for my Saturday morning inspiration! Great video!! Finishing my morning coffee then heading out to do some Rockhound Treasurehunting of my own. Very glad you're doing well now! Keep on Rockin guys. You make a great team

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Well thanks for joining us with your morning coffee. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@weldenjon]

Most of what you are calling quartz is actually gypsum or calcium sulfate. It is a salt that forms where water was once present. Gypsum does often form in crystals under the right conditions. If you were to pound some of your samples into powder you would find that it would turn a snowy white. Anyway, good finds and thank you for sharing.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Hey thank you. This has been a learning journey for us. Often times we look back on our older videos like this and wish we could add corrections. The world of minerals just gets bigger and bigger as we go.

[@danielvonbose557]

I think you're right, these are evaporate minerals, many of which are sulfates like gypsum which is pretty typical of early stages of evaporation of a body of water. Gypsum is very soft compared to quartz.

[@DeAnnBrooks]

did you see the smiley face on the web looking rock part of the video? so fascinating

[@TheAdventureCloset]

We didn't! Will have to go see if we can find it. 😃

[@DeAnnBrooks]

@@TheAdventureCloset let me know if you find it or don't find it

[@CityRockhounding]

Water is so amazing, even in space it does some crazy stuff. It's so cool to see how flowing water can carve this earth surface into so many beautiful valleys and pretty rock formations, and I also love how it's constantly changing, water can transform anything. This was so much fun, I really enjoyed this exploration. That geyser is super cool, the history is awesome. The rocks you found are so interesting and unique, I loved them. Those botryoidals are insane. That's probably one of the coolest rocks I've see, it has everything. Your photography is beyond outstanding. Thanks for sharing your passion and love through different forms of art!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We really wish we knew more about what we were looking at though.

[@camplapidary]

But what about the snake? Is he all right, is he ok? haha! Nice video installment. Now I wonder if you can drink the geyser water? Would it be like that "Canada Dry" stuff?

[@TheAdventureCloset]

It tasted more like Mountain Dew. Haha, Actually I don't know what it would taste like. My guess is salty eggs and you'd probably get the runs.

[@TheCaptainShow]

hi there love the rock at the begining, look a great place to visit the geyser is well interesting the flowstone look a lot like barite I've found in the past, I like the snake and the rock above is wow great finds at the end it's got a barite and calcite feel red iron oxide and the yellow maybe sulphur , nice 1 take care catch you ⚒

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Barite is something we're not too educated on yet so makes sense we missed identifying it. We're from Washington and haven't seen a formation quite like this one before. Was loads of fun to collect the specimens. Thanks for watching!

[@TheCaptainShow]

@@TheAdventureCloset will be check out you in the future nice 1

[@cricketfey]

WOW! Just found y'all last night while researching plus size backpacking gear and I'm so glad I subscribed! That is the coolest bunch of rocks I've ever seen in my life 😍 how do I sign up to hang out with you guys and find cool rocks in the middle of nowhere? 😂 so glad to hear you're doing better after that scary skin cancer ordeal, and good on you for knowing your limits and getting out of the sun (though I'm sure Liz would've stayed there til sundown lol)

[@TheAdventureCloset]

So glad you found us too! We are always up for meeting up to do an adventure. We're usually hiking, rockhounding or doing vanlife stuff. Thank you so much for commenting too. It's always great to make a new friend.

[@cricketfey]

@The Adventure Closet If you're ever in the PNW I'd love to go hiking and rock hunting together! Can't wait to see y'alls next adventure 😊

[@cricketfey]

@The Adventure Closet Apparently, I need to watch some older videos because I'm seeing you were recently in Washington! 😂

[@ShellyRock60]

Hi Liz and Charlie... I just went to the crystal geyser yesterday. Thank you so much for letting us know where and what this is .. I was just wondering where you two found that cool rock Formation!? Any Information will be Greatly Appreciated!!!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Awesome. Glad you're enjoying this beautiful area. It was on the right on the road out to the geyser. Cool stuff could be found all over there. Just be sure you're not on a claim.

[@ShellyRock60]

Thank you so much for the info... I did a lil Rockhounding on the way out from seeing the geyser but I was looking on the driver's side (left side of the road)... How far off the road did you two have to walk to get to that cool formation?

[@TheAdventureCloset]

@@ShellyRock60 if memory serves me right it was maybe a quarter mile.

[@ShellyRock60]

@@TheAdventureCloset Thank you again for the info! Sounds like I was definitely looking in the wrong spots. I was hoping to get a look at that formation in person but I had fun at the Geyser anyways. Again, I think you guys are Great and love what you both are doing w your lives. Keep up the great Rockhounding videos!!

[@RockandRoadRockhounding]

Those rocks were insane!!! The webby rocks around 10:30 look kind of like boxwork, which is a geologic formation mostly found in Wind Cave in South Dakota. That's probably not what it is, since it's not in a cave, but super cool either way! And those rock finds at the end are epic!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

It was some crazy stuff. Being outside of Washington where we're from has been mind blowing to see the different geology. Every place is unique. Thanks for watching!

[@alicemiller3139]

That crazy pace looking rock reminded me of a rock that I have and it’s called desert rose. My rock is small and I don’t know how big they can grow, but Google desert rock.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

It does have that desert rose look, but much much bigger! Could be. We're still learning. Thanks for stopping by!

[@moandjen]

Great find!! So happy you got the cancer taken care of. Please be careful out there 🤗 I hope y’all are getting enough to eat. It looks like y’all are dropping weight fast. Don’t get me wrong you both look great, as always just want to make sure y’all are eating good 😊

[@TheAdventureCloset]

You are so dang sweet! I think we just end up eating less in the van since we're always on the go. It's weight we could afford to lose though. Haha. I think it's creeping back now though. Looking forward to your next video update.

[@moandjen]

Ok I’m just glad you guys are ok and have plenty of food. We are working on kind of changing some things up with our channel, financially recovering from medical, and getting together everything we need for our van build. It will be a couple months but we are anxious to get back to what we love ❤️

[@TheAdventureCloset]

@@moandjen I can imagine you have a lot of things to get back in order. So glad you're not giving up the dream!

[@ramonakruger4100]

interesting rock find. and good video, but I would leave out the music. It was a little annoying. Keep on rockin' and Love mother earth.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

The music isn't everyone's cup of tea but mother earth usually is. Thanks for watching!

[@misscdog]

We went here once. Our experience was ruined by some teenagers sitting in the water on a sofa. Yes. They had put a sofa in the pool near the pipe.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

That's ridiculous. Hopefully they pulled it out of there and didn't do much damage.

[@bagheadpiper3906]

You didn’t find any Quartz. It’s “geyserite” , calcite. Should fizz in Acid. In that area, lol Area 51.. there are exposures of Yellowcat member of Morrison. And the best Iron Concretion “holy rocks”…. Floy Wash, about 10 miles East has Pigeon Blood Agate. Send me a PM next time you are in the area. I can share some spots.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Oh interesting. Thank you so much for that info. The rock there was absolutely fascinating. How can we reach you next time we are out that way?
