Some times you eat the bear.

Quick story--- Monday-- Hunts with Stone calls and says "no time to stop
for hardstone gotta fly". Will be getting in late at hotel across the mountain.
Dern-- had a pretty good hunt planned. Oh well.
Humm, the gears started turning. I called Hunter and asked, if I met him
on the mountain (fog, deer, bears, and 2 dozen switch backs, no cell signals)
 could he and the Mrs squeeze in an hour detour.
We made a plan to meet and run up a parallel valley, early morning.
Hunter and the Mrs are excellent navigators and both drive like angles.
Hell's Angles.lol
It was a glorious, cool late summer day.
Well things began to click. I called  Super Girl, Helena and asked if she
 could acquire some greenstone and meet Hunter and I, at what I call
the jasper place thirty miles up valley.
 The wheels were turning like a poker run. We took in the local color
and headed north down the South Branch of the Shenandoah River.
Jasper is pretty rare so when we arrived at the "place" the hunt was on.
Helena appeared out of the mist and laid hardstone at our feet.
 Hunter and his bride made it home in time.

I always miss the good gigs.

Hunts with stone:
Zuma thanks again for making special arguments for us to get together. We all had a great time and it realy was a great day in the  Shenandoah Valley with friends. Wish you were there to P D. With thoughts of paleo fire cooking jasper and bear. Till next time.

JEB:
Must be nice to head out on rock runs.  Here in Michigan it's sand runs in the summer and snow runs in the winter. Although the deer hunting is pretty good.
