Headed Out

Well, all repairs are completed. Cliff has been terrific, letting me invade his home and spread my projects all over the place.
Tomorrow I head for Plush, OR

I am in search of Oregon's state gem, the Sunstone. They are crystals that formed in the cooling lava. As the lava erodes, the crystals are released. The color is determined by the amount of copper the crystal contains. Clear and light yellow crystals have very little, the highly prized red crystals have the highest concentration of copper.
