How to find a cool rock at Red Rock Canyon to mail to TG by theba2il

"It feels great to get out and try new things!"

How I did it: I stumbled upon TG's 43 things one day and noticed his goal with exchanging rocks with 43er's.  Before finding TG, I learned you can mail a rock at a recent trip to the post office.  So I made it as a goal.  Found a cool rock.  PMed TG for his address.  Put the address on a post-it and totally wrapped the rock so it arrives at it's destination.  The rock is not in a box.  The rock by itself was mailed.  Then went to the post office and mailed a rock.  

Lessons & tips: Read.  I learned a lot of things recently by reading.  You never know what you will stumble upon. 

 For example, just now I was looking for a picture of a rock because my husband has the camera at the moment.  I found this website and just may have learned what kind of rock I sent TG.  A gypsum rock.  "Rock gypsum is an evaporite rock that forms as shallow sea basins or salt lakes dry up enough for the mineral gypsum to come out of solution."  I found the rock yesterday when I was in a wash.  See, you never know what may happen if you don't get out there...

Never heard of mailing just a rock!

theba2il Great Spirit, let me plant positive seeds.

Hi:0)

I would certainly try. I’ve mailed a coconut & a rock unwrapped. I just made sure the label was secure. Best wishes:0)

Someday

I’ll get around to sending you a rock in exchange! (I have an interesting one I picked up this last summer, but right now it’s temporarily misplaced).

DocD Now very quiet before the predicted T-storm.

Spirit of the stone

It is most often unwise to take rocks from a spiritually holey place. Only bad luck can come of it. Every year, stolen rocks are sent back to Hawaii’s volcano parks by people who say that bad luck has befallen them. Pele gets mad. Don’t mess with Pele. Any bad luck lately? I suggest you return the rock to its original location.
