Are you an expert on Columbia Gorge rocks? If so, I have a rock I'd like you to look at.

You are so knowledgeable! I love that your wife is also enthusiastic!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Finally got myself an orange vest for roadcuts. Love Lyka talking it made me smile. Those rocks are just waiting for someone to come take them home.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Laika sure does have a voice on her.

[@erickillg811]

After you got them cleaned up they were actually a lot cooler than I expected them to be. Some of those specimens are really cool

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I'm glad you liked them and that is often the case with these, they can look unimpressive out in the field.

[@kylerobertson1263]

Up on mud creek and boulder creek area of the same national forest I can. Find a small hole on the side of the road with crystal points in it u should check that out

[@1sec2midnight]

Your thumbnails are very professional, and you got them made promptly. Way to go keeping the collection organized an neat. Thanks for bringing us along to another interesting mineral site.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you! I try to keep it all neat and together. If I didn't I would get lost in a sea of rocks I feel like.

[@cynthiafoss8086]

What a lovely place to camp. You got some amazing specimens

[@kittygonzalez2827]

We used to go to Priest Lake, mostly fishing, but I’m a hound! My ex was colorblind, and he really didn’t see the beauty in many rocks...just shades of gray.

[@markattardo]

Really interesting geology. Enjoy seeing the specimens before and after, especially through the microscope.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

That was a beautiful location and I think you found some amazing specimens! The one with the large crystals you mounted is my favorite.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Overall I'm very pleased with it.

[@DeeDeeDIY]

The stilbite in the perky box looks great! 👌

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you!

[@DanFarrar]

Really nice pace on this video! High speed intro was great 👍. Your videos have a wonderful “sense of being there” about them. Dog howls are always a plus lol. If you find yourself in the tri-cities 👋

[@sfbfriend]

Devils Punchbowl is here in SoCal, or another so aptly named one. What a cool area the scenery alone is worth it. Thanks Jared, I really admire your memory for these things. What an awesome area to lay your head for the night. Thanks brother, cheers

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@hatto018]

Oh man I was wrong one time me and my fiance found our way into an old lead mine in Missouri and ended up in a really sketchy area but it was really neat because we did find some pretty cool Galena

[@mariemoss2475]

They cleaned up great, some lovely specimens 👍

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you!

[@BackcountrywithShaughn]

Nice, got something to look forward to after my morning appointment! Rock on~

[@Rocktwister]

Great video! Love the perkies!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you!

[@stevekangas4336]

NICE!! Know exactly the spot you visitied. Been there a few times myself, unfortunately not in a few years. I did fiind in the quarry one time a sadly degraded salmon pink red stilbite bowtie. Had to pass cause i already had to much and it was fairly degraded. Was still sitting there the padt time i went out that way.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

It's a cool area for sure.

[@71tylerdurden]

Did you ever end up looking along the river? There's a pretty big bunch of gravel bars right next to where you camped (west, downstream).

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Most off the access point had people camping at them and we didn't want to really walk through someones camp.

[@71tylerdurden]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding Understandable. That spot west of the quarry I've been trying to get to for ages, but there's always been people camping around it (except during the spring when everything is underwater). With all the agate falling out of the other road cuts nearby, there's bound to be something interesting in the river.

[@roman11469]

Where did you get your chisel? Any recommendations? Another day of great finds!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

The one I mostly used on this trip is just a small 3/4" masonry chisel from Home Depot.

[@roman11469]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding Cool, thanks!

[@edwardlochbihler2089]

Another great video never heard of poison Creek will have to go do a little research now lol

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

It's a good place.

[@terrihamm3719]

Nice findings. I am new learning about rocks and looking forward to rockhounding the right way. If you have any Iinf. Would love to hear more you.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you. I do have a website and like 500 videos here if you want to learn more about some of these different subjects.

[@tyshaver108]

Just noticed you only have 40k viewers. How is that possible!!

[@tyshaver108]

Was that a Pioneer Pauly jab...lol

The name of the game on KZbin these days is clickbait and sensationalized content which are two things that I refuse to do which puts this channel at a disadvantage with it comes to the algorithm.

[@your_eulogy2688]

Gotta get a permit for the gifford pinchot, not sure why i cant just download a permit like when i harvest mushrooms and berries...gotta go in person for some reason. I need to go get one so i can collect "legally"

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

No permit is required to collect a personal amount of rocks and minerals in the national forest. www.fs.usda.gov/detail/giffordpinchot/passes-permits/forestproducts/?cid=FSBDEV3_004994

[@your_eulogy2688]

@CurrentlyRockhounding "U.S Forest Service laws and regulation do not allow for recreational rockhounding and rock collecting. Rockhounding, rock/mineral collecting (including petrified wood), and fossil collecting on National Forest lands all require a permit. Permit fees will vary depending on the type and amount of material collected, the location of the collection site, and the potential use of the material. Materials collected cannot be re-sold commercially; collection is for personal use only...Any person interested in rockhounding, or rock collecting must first acquire a permit from their local ranger district office." What am I missing? Did you read it? I just can't get in trouble for a year and Wana be sure...lol

[@aerynventress7702]

Y'all ever see bears on trips like this?

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Nope, the only time we have ever seen a bear was on the outskirts of little tourist town in the mountains.

[@ginaroyall1838]

I like the pack you're wearing. Shoulder support and front access. What is it, and how do I get one? If you don't mind me asking

[@hatto018]

I don't know where you're going right now but before I watch the video and going to say that the professor of geology from Central Washington University you know and I think you're probably going to Hell's canyon is that right lol

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

It's been a long time since we have been down towards Hells Canyon but we would love to go back.

[@PotatoHero-d1z]

Sorry you couldn't find anything amazing in the area, its probably my fault ;)

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

What?
