[@aliencat11]

Congratulations on your book!!!!! I can hardky wait to read it!!!! 😁

[@KatyDidRocks]

Yay! Thank you! I am very excited. :)

[@mitchgillilan]

Wow you wrote a book thats so inspiring! Really cool news!! I bet its really good knowing how much experience you have rock hunting the yellowstone! At 13:40 that piece of pet wood looks like lace wood or sycamore, the lines that you see are not the growth rings, but the medullar rays, (the rays are perpendicular to the growth rings) I only know this because im a woodworker and Im good at identifying lots of types of pet wood :)

[@KatyDidRocks]

Amazing! That's so cool that you know that! The book is part memoir, part guidebook - I had a great time writing it.

[@mitchgillilan]

@@KatyDidRocks I will have to reserve one for myself. Maybe you will become a famous author! I think the title is perfect, and you chose the right name for the book. 👍

[@colleengriffin4593]

Yeah that definitely was some kind of fossil! I enjoyed this, and appreciate the knowledge you shared! Learned something new from you!

Hey Kate due to some rather drastic unforseen circumstances I cant keep all my rocks anymore so if you know anyone whose keen on multiple kg (hundreds of pounds) of rocks and fossils from down under please get in touch on the usual socials. Great video as always. Jasper.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks, Jasper. Sorry to hear that you have to part with your rocks.

[@allanwood3562]

Well done you! I hope the sales go well.

Thank you! I am happy with how it turned out.

[@MaryLouTido]

At 4:48 you are focused on a nice sized hunk of brecciated jasper. Look to the top left of that. I would love to know what that is.

[@KatyDidRocks]

If you are talking about the black and white stone, I THINK that it is a piece of porphyritic basalt. Not sure, though. :)

[@cherylamie]

Great finds

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you, cherylamie! It was a good day. :)

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Wow. Congrats! Not easy at all. I look forward to Nov. 1st

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks!

[@donnalantz7981]

That's awesome Kate. I love that you wrote a book from your own experiences on the Yellowstone River. Now I will have to get one. And bring it wilt me when I finally make it out there and have you autograph it for me. That would be so amazing. Soon as my doctor gets me back in working order again I will be planning a trip out there. Most likely next year sometime. What would be a good time to come out though to do some good rockhounding? Great video as always Kate. Thanks for sharing. Read finds too.

[@KatyDidRocks]

I would recommend August or September. The river is high May and June, and starts to drop in July. Thanks for the support!

[@donnalantz7981]

Thanks Kate. I have ordered a few times from your Etsy store. I love Montana rocks. I also order from Theo Kellison. I only order from those I watch and trust. As soon as I'm back on my feet and am able to work again I will be ordering your book and more. Thanks for the tip as to when to come out .

Sorry that I missed whenever this came out, but I didn’t come home till Wednesday from being in the hospital for a week. Ugh. Trying too play catch up. Beautiful finds

Oh, Nancy, I'm sorry you were sick! Hope you are feeling better.

@@KatyDidRocks I had a complete knee replacement and this has been a tougher one than the first one four years ago. It’s one day at a time. Ugh. Thank you for the kind words though. I’m trying my best every day. I will be glad when I can get all of the like sixty staples out of my knee on Wednesday, and heal quicker

Hello!

Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 Katie thanks for the great video 📹 congratulations on your new book 📖 and also wanted to encourage to use Aloe Vera on your Scratches it will help them heal up alot faster. So keep up the good 👍 work and keep on rocking. Going now thanks Ray in Idaho

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks for the tip - my arms look like I tangled with a cat. :)

Still did not make it up there! Already some interesting rocks!

One of these days. :)

[@KatyDidRocks]

:)

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

Pudding stone is compressed mud [finer sediment than sand] with red & whitish inclusions..

[@KatyDidRocks]

Good to know! I know the red is jasper. I thought it was a bit harder than compressed mud, because I've seen Michigan Rocks slab it. Thanks for the input!

[@alexpazmino4762]

I’m a newbie to this hobby. So milk agates are not worth keeping in comparison to other agates?

[@KatyDidRocks]

Hello! "Milk" agates are very similar to Montana agates in mineral composition, except that the chalcedony has impurities in it, making it more opaque. There's really nothing "wrong" with milk agates, and some of them are downright beautiful - but they are so common around here, most folks don't bother picking them up.

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Could the “private land” sign have been old?

[@KatyDidRocks]

I suppose so? I'll have to look at the map.

[@lisacooper8240]

you look awesome Katie.you've lost some weight!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you! :)

[@robbybobby6483]

Not much for trail blazing huh? That's okay. It's not important, the stones are. Petrified wood was amazing.

[@KatyDidRocks]

LOL, looking at the video, it really didn't look that difficult - I should have done a better job of shooting the undergrowth. The giant trash can on my back did make it more difficult.

[@jimlancaster6120]

Will you send me a signed copy.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Jim, I'm signing the first 150 that go out from orders on my Etsy store. After that, all bets are off! :D
