My handle is ryaly2dogs and I am a newbie to this blog. I hail from Santa Barbara, CA and am a hydrogeologist by trade (nearly 30 years now) but rockhound by passion. I was bitten at a young age with a grandpa who had a magic workshop in Portland, OR filled with saws, grinder/polishers, and glass fusing and faceting facilities. I have gone to rock shows since as far back as I can remember but took the plunge last year and joined a local mineral club. I really enjoy the field trips, learning from the greatest generation, and of course taking the bootie home and working with it via slabs and cabs.
I enjoy perusing the blogs and the various subjects. Keep 'em coming, I've picked up a lot of most excellent tips. Carpe Diem.

Welcome from a "neighbor" just down the coast in Camarillo. There's much to learn here.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have found that rockhounds are some of the most grounded and friendliest of folks you can ever hope to meet. Here's to meeting you all some day.
