Josh, one of my rockhunting friends from St Louis, joined me I on a trip to Joplin the third weekend in September, for a day and a half…to attend the Tri States Mineral Show and go mineral collecting with the Kansas City Mineral Club, invited to rockhunt with them at some of the old tailing piles down there that are still accessible. I have a few friends in that club as well as several other clubs and get invited to digs occasionally. We drove down a day early to visit with friends there as well. I like to go over to Grand Falls when I am down there, one of my fave places to photograph down that way…

…after that, I was off to my other favorite place down there…Andy`s Frozen Custard. 🙂
