I for one commend Rob for his discipline when choosing which stones to take home. For us rockhounds that go out often the inventory can build up and before you know it you're swimming in rocks at home and the spouse is yelling at you. Rob knows what he's doing.
All that being said.....that circle rock at 17:15 was 1970's groovy.
Many people have said that one looks like some sort of Native American artwork. I kind of like your 70's comparison though.
I could watch these videos for hours. Please add more!!! How about a video that shows us what all those more common rocks are. Even if those aren't ones to take home I'd love to know what kind they are. Thank you so much for making these videos!
Have you watched all the videos like this that I have already posted? There are a lot of them. A new one will be out tonight, too.
Some of the very plain rocks on the beach are actually pretty hard to identify. I sent seven plain, bluish rocks to two geologists for identification. I thought they were all the same, but they told me that I had sent three or four different types of rocks. There were two variations of one type, which is why I said there were three or four.
I have a video on rock identification that I did on Lake Superior (this video was on Lake Huron). There's a follow up with the answers, so don't miss that. The link is in the description to the video linked here. th-cam.com/video/wOCWaZLAVhA/w-d-xo.html
I cant believe you put the one with circles back! That was a really cool stone. Your will power is stronger than mine! I really loved the purple and yellowish stone. I think that was my favorite of the night. Thanks for taking us along on your hunt.
The circle rock had the texture of sandstone, so I don't think it would have tumbled well. The purple and yellow rock was cool, but a little too big for my saw.
Dude, you gotta get a bigger saw
I am a natural born rock hound ! You never know what you’re gonna find ! Enjoy your videos and you name the rocks too ! Thank you ! 👍❤️😇🍀
Well, I try to name them. I don't know a lot of them, and get some wrong, so take the names with a grain of salt.
So much treasure left behind! I would love to have any of those in my garden. You need a little remote control barge to follow along as you hunt. Just toss all the beauties in there, unload back at the car. Anyhow, your beach combing rock hunts are my favorite posts. Don't stop making them.
I'm going to have to stop making them for a few months this winter, but they're my favorite to do too.
Rob: “Apparently granite has feelings too.” Funny!
I think it’s an unusual and pretty rock. Why don’t you put that rock in your flower bed. I think it would look great there. I was feeling down and stressed with everything that’s going on in the world right now. Your video cheered me up and brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful and peaceful place.
It is a nice place. I don't usually worry about too much while I'm there. I just enjoy how beautiful the world is that God made for us.
Yes, I really liked the mudstone too.
Thanks for taking us on your journey. With everything going on in the country right now I found this very soothing!
It was Election Day. I think I made a better decision that staying home and watching people on TV talking about how they didn't know who was winning. I pretty much put the election out of my mind by being out there.
Waves ? Election Day coverage ? Waves, waves, waves !!!!!!
Some very nice finds even those left on the beach for others to find. Thank you for taking us along, love the drone views too!
You're welcome. The drone views are my favorite too. This was my first summer with a drone, so it's still a novelty.
So soothing to see the diverse set of rocks and hear the sounds of water, all the way from Michigan :)
Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
So happy I stumbled upon this channel! This reminds me of camping at Pictured Rocks as a kid and wanting to bring home every rock and pebble. Also my grandparents' UP property was lined with tons (probably literally) of rocks my grandpa collected. I love hearing the names of all the stones. I think I'll subscribe and maybe I'll learn something 😁 or at least relive my childhood vicariously through you!
Thanks for subscribing, I'm glad to have you come along on my beach walks.
Have you ever heard that, beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Or whatever the rockhound keeps. The rocks you take are something more to your own taste and rocks that you find amazing. I see comments on just about every rocks you pick up and show, are rocks that you should of kept, but your the one out there doing all that searching in the cold water no less! I can't get enough of them, I could spend hours out there just looking at rocks!
The comments about what I should have taken don’t bother me. It’s just people telling me that they’re excited about the rocks they’re seeing. I think it’s fun.
Wow, what a great walk that was. The candy store was certainly open. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed. Lots of fun stuff to look at.
One of the very best videos yet !!! I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much. I enjoy your channel a lot.
Thanks!
Hi Rob
Nice to be on your rock trip. Always love the rocks and your info on various ones. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Marsha, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
That mudstone is cool love the swirls and layers! Nothing like that here.
Look at all those pink rocks! Wow!
Im lifting weights right now watching this thinking if I made it up there, Im going to need to be strong and have a few extra bags on me. Some awesome big rocks. Got to be frustrating, especially if you want to take them home. They would have to come with me. Drone shots are really cool. Was fun to watch. Great video
I have enough rocks in my yard. It's pretty rare that I get frustrated on the beach. I'm usually pretty relaxed.
The stone with all the fossil packed in it was outstanding! And the small green one was equally cool looking. I really enjoy your videos and that you keep the sound of the waves in. Thank you for showing us!
The waves sounds are the best part for many people. I'll never cover those up with bad music.
You hurt the Petoskey stone's feelings when you said it was low quality! 😁 haha! I love these videos so much.
Ah, it'll get over it.
I thought the same thing !
If I pick one up, then decide not to take it, I place it back down : \
Thank you for your videos, they get watched over and over to get through this pandemic. I love Lake Huron and have found some treasures on the Canadian side but no petosky stones. So ,when it is safe, I will be paying a visit to your side (hope my car can survive the load I will be bringing home!)
We have plenty of Petoskeys over here, so come and get some. I think a lot of our cool rocks came down from Canada on glaciers, so we probably owe you a few.
I cringed when you dropped the circle rock at 17:15. Lol. I would have loved to have seen that polished up.
My wife and I just said the same thing lol. That thing was cool!
Me too 😢. It looked like a Native American blanket pattern.
Hahaha! Me too! Rob go back and get it the people have spoken!!!
Exactly what I was thinking. : ) You know what they say? Great minds think alike, He sort of hesitated when he let it fall, as if restraining his inclination to keep it. Cut in half would have been cool too. Liked the strange looking picture rock (he called Weird) also.
right!...i mean, i don't think it's right to leave so many cool rocks behind.
I wouldn't be able to walk back to my car with all the rocks I would have picked up! They are all so beautiful.
Yep, there are a few nice ones on that beach.
Really enjoyed this beach hunt. Felt like I was along on it. The mudstone was lovely and your wife is right about showing the granite. Thank you.
My wife seems to always be right. I try to remember that.
I love the granite !!
Beware of lurking puddingstones! Loved the video once again, Rob! So peaceful and refreshing!
I probably saw 30-40 puddingstones on that walk. Most were not great quality and I have enough at home that I didn't need to bring any mediocre rocks home.
These are my favorite videos. Arial shots with beach hunts. The tree colors are beautiful. Just awesome scenery.
I missed the best tree colors. The maples are all leafless. What you were seeing was the oaks which hold their leaves a lot longer, but are just sort of a brown color. I tried hard to get some shots of the maples, but it was either raining or windy every day. Maybe next year.
Excellent video! Fantastic beach gems, crystal clear water, blue sky, what a fantastic beach!
This is my favorite beach to hunt. You never know what you're going to find there.
Such pretty rocks. Thank you 🙃☕❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the lesson about sedimentary pudding stones. What a clear example of the layering process. That would have made a great classroom example.
I'm glad I could teach you something.
Great video! The drone footage was amazing. Thank you...
You're welcome. I'm still having a ball with the drone. I had to walk quickly about a mile down the beach to the spot where I wanted to fly. It was difficult walking past all the rocks and not picking many up (I grabbed two Petoskeys on the way). I'm glad I did, though, because the wind came up later just as the weatherman predicted.
A piece of me died when u dropped the circle rock...ugh that hurt!
I decided that it would not polish. It had the texture of sandstone.
But it was still beautifully unique!!!
What a wonderful video (as usual)lol the drone shots are such a nice feature! The circle rock would have been great to tumble (about 80+ of us will be looking for it come spring!) Lots of wonderful finds on this walk. Our 10 y/o she loves her mud rocks even more now that you featured them-loves the giant one you found. Until next time, be safe
I’m glad you liked it. I know a lot of you will be rooting for me to find that circle rock in the spring. Gives us another reason to look forward to spring.
Just figured out the stone I brought home 14 yrs ago from 20th wedding anniversary is pudding stone. Nice!😊
Woo-hoo! Cheaper than emerald!
I love that orange pudding stone!
Amo esse lago. Pedras lindas!! A rainha do lago: Pudinstone✨ ❤
This is like therapy for me
Wow, I like to pick up every thing he is throwing. They are good for healing
This is not a channel about healing rocks. I'm a Christian and I put my faith in God, not in rocks.
Ya, Michigan in the summer is the best place on earth.
Yep, you've got that right.
Indeed rocks do have feelings.....beautiful finds
That's a bummer for the ones that meet my tumbler.
What a great spot. Thanks for taking us along.. Great drone footage.
I collect rocks from Indiana from working in landscaping, easily have over 10,000 rocks in my collection, heaviest rock is 8,000 pounds! Almost can't control myself watching your videos. Would have to have a fleet of dump trucks on that beach too many rocks I couldn't live without! Yours videos are awesome!
So with all those rocks, does it make it easier or harder to understand why I leave so many rocks behind? I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
You definitely have a lot more rocks to choose from than what I come across. I used to pick up any rocks but now I'm definitely more picky. I understand why you leave so many behind, your looking for the diamonds in the ruff, if you will. So it's easy for me to understand why you leave behind what you come across. you mention in the video do I really want to carry that one all the way home. Rocks are HEAVY! I'm sure your collection is amazing.
17:23 looks like lodge furniture fabric from the 90’s🤪♥️
I didn't think of that. Cool rock, but it had a texture like sandstone. I carried that along with me for a while and looked at it several times trying to decide if I should take it home. I ended up leaving it on the beach.
I did love the strange conglomerates n enjoyed coming with u very much! As usual!☺️
It was nice to have you along, Shannon.
I agree with your wife. Granite is beautiful. I called the black and white kind "salt and pepper " rocks when I was a kid. Used to smash them open with a hammer to see the inside. No safety glasses 😆
No bicycle helmets, no safety glasses, no cell phones for our parents to keep track of us, and science teachers would pour a few drops of mercury on the lab table for us to play with. It's amazing we're still alive.
Was a good day for finding rocks with the water level lower. That large pudding stone was awesome. I like the mixed planting of trees and beautiful coloured leaves, it's amazing how the water has undermined them after growing all these years. Lovely video, thank you
I wish I had gotten out when the maples were in full color. What you're seeing in the drone shots are cedars, pines, and other evergreens mixed with oaks. The oak leaves are brown right now and fall off later than the maples, which have already lost their leaves.
The weather was cooperative this fall for flying my drone. It it wasn't raining, it was windy. Neither are good for drone flying.
@@MichiganRocks yes but was lovely to see. We have some maples here and saw the vibrant red colours. I'm glad you can fly your drone as it gives a good prospective of where you are. Thank you
Loved the Autumn colours in the woods over there ! Lovely little pudding and petoskey stones 🥰
I missed the good colors. Only the oak trees have leaves left. The maples are bare. I really wanted some good drone shots in the fall, but every day was either too windy or raining. My drone can't take much more than a 5 mph wind. I took it to Rockport one morning and constantly got high wind warnings from the drone.
That was very awesome and relaxing to watch, thanks for sharing!
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The "one that got away" for me was the orange and purple at 3:15.
It seems to have well rounded conchoidal fractures? Maybe it would polish?
I've brought similar rocks home and slabbed them. The problem with those, in my opinion, is that there is not a clear line between different colors. When the color gradually transforms from one to another, it just doesn't look great when you cut it into a cabochon or something. It might have looked ok tumbled, but it was pretty big for that.
@@MichiganRocks makes sense, thanks for the extra info!
My heart skipped a beat when that rock was dropped back to the ground.
@@MileyO Hopefully I didn't do any long term damage to your heart. Sorry about that.
My understanding is that there was a great rock outcrop in Ontario that was broken and ground during the glacier age and then, when the glaciers melted, all that material was swept south. We don't have the variety that is on those beaches in northern Indiana but we do see pudding stones and lots of quartz and granite.
Yes, I think a lot of our rocks came down from Canada. Thanks Canada!
It must be nice to live near such great rocks and leave them behind
Yes it is.
I love the drone photos. Those woods are so dense and so flat I can see how someone could get very lost...no high points to climb and look around.
I don't go into the woods because it's private property. It was nice to sneak a peek from above.
LOL, Let's all take a good look at it and let's move on. Oh I would need a huge dump truck because I would take them home. THANKS FOR SHARING THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY AND ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL ROCKS!
I would have liked to haul those home, but I tried to control myself.
Fabulous video! Fantastically beautiful rocks.
The colours are just amazing. I really like seeing the lake Huron videos.
Thanks! I don't know if I should be saying thanks, I didn't make the rocks, God did. I just held the camera. There were some pretty fun rocks on this walk.
I love those beautiful rocks ,the fossils.
Lovely trip. I went on hiking and mushroom pickingwith my wife and friends today. Lovely day had fun - found no mushrooms or any worthy stonefor that matter!
When you get outside and have a nice walk, it really doesn't matter that much if you bring something home or not.
@@MichiganRocks agreed!!! Too bad my kids don't understand this....
I came across your channel during this awful pandemic and I want to thank you. I have been collecting rocks since childhood and dreamed of becoming a geologist when I grew up. Suffice it to say that fate took me on a different path (I'm an RN) but my love for geology has remained. I absolutely love watching your videos and I never realized how beautiful the Great Lakes were (native Coloradan). When it's safe to travel again I hope to make my way to Michigan with my boys and find us some Petoskey stones to take home. And I swear to God I'm going to do my damnedest to find that ringed rock you tossed. 😊
My wife and I drove our Jeep to Colorado last summer to drive it in the mountains. The best trail we did was the Imogene Pass between Ouray and Telluride. We had never done anything like that before so it was a real thrill. I just love the mountains. Whenever I leave Michigan though, I miss seeing water. It's amazing how few lakes and streams there between here and Colorado. Michigan is much different than Colorado, but I think you'd really like it.
Apparently granite has feelings too 🤣
That cladapora was awesome lake Michigan has them but with light grey matrix. The black gives it a much nicer contrast.
I've seen darker and lighter here too, but black or very dark gray is common. I didn't realize that they tended to be lighter in Lake Michigan.
When there’s not a pandemic, my job is making costumes for Broadway shows, and the corset for Nala in The Lion King involves various gorgeous beads, including ones made from unakite. It is SO COOL to see what unakite looks like as a big ol’ chunk of rock, before it gets processed into beads!
That's really cool. That's something that I would have never known if you hadn't mentioned it. I have found that the Great Lakes unakite looks a little different than the stuff from other locations, like Africa and Brazil. I like our local stuff a little better. Have you seen some of my tumbled unakite?
th-cam.com/video/4eX-IcZtZfU/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/KVOiFX47LE8/w-d-xo.html
@@MichiganRocks I just watched both videos, and I’m completely inclined to agree! There is a level of variation and life to your unakite pieces that is just lacking from the stuff our beads are made from (wherever they originate). In our case it’s fine, as the unakite beads are just one element in a VERY busy beaded corset, but it’s super neat to suddenly be thinking about unakite as a far more complex and variable mineral than I would ever have guessed!
Also, if anyone will appreciate this very silly geology pun I once heard on a podcast, I suspect you might! A pair of scientists were discussing the mineral composition of the different boroughs of NYC, where I live, and one of them observed, “You know what they say: The Bronx is gneiss, but Manhattan is just full of schist!” 😁
@@stellabelikiewicz1523 Ha ha! I haven't heard that pun in that particular context, but gneiss and schist puns are well not hard to find.
I live on the Lake Mi.beach. My most fun is taking my horse Rawhide ( my John Deer :-) down ( especially after a storm like yesterday's ) to the beach to see what new rocks the waves brought up. I keep telling myself I don't have a problem with not choosing my very favorites, I can always put them in the landscape borders, under burms, and line the flower beds. I tell myself that all the time lol, and do it, but, because of the beauty of that circle stone, I'd be here right now :-) I can't believe how bad I've gotten the rock hounding bug!
If he wasn't such a smart dude, his back would be broken and he'd be crippled lol. I respect his discretion.
Or maybe I'd have big, muscular arms from all the exercise of hauling rocks home.
Yes, well, you do have big muscular arms I’m sure!
@@pattywpschoonbeck49 Nah, they're skinny math teacher arms.
Thank God you finally picked up and kept a Green rock. So many pretty rocks left behind.😥. Also liked the green and red ? jasper that was left
Finally? I pick up lots of green rocks. I think I pick up a lot more green rocks in Lake Superior, so maybe you haven't watched those videos. I was in a green rut in this video: th-cam.com/video/e5tyV1KIN2Q/w-d-xo.html
T Take home the White Rock and break it open or slice it up on your saw and see what it looks like inside that would be cool. Also . That one with circles all tight was AMAZING
I went back and found that rock with the circles the next spring. I wasn't sure about leaving it behind, so I put it somewhere I knew I could find it again. Here's a video where I tumbled it: th-cam.com/video/Ij40SdinQ0Q/w-d-xo.html
Loved the purple and gold, and the mudstone. Some things are valuable for their eye-candy qualities alone.
That was the nicest large mudstone I've ever seen. I wish those things would polish to a high shine. I'd be collecting all of them.
🤣 "Granite has feelings too" 😂
Nice Stones 🥰🤗🥰🤗💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks for your videos, my family looks forward to them.
Good, I'm glad you like them.
Thankyou so much for describing as many rocks as you did. Very educational.
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Love unakite & epidote ,the sound of the wawes is relaxing me,thx
what a beautiful place to rockhound!
It sure is!
I'm amazed so many different kinds of rocks can be in one place like that.
The glaciers were good to us.
You should bring a pry bar with you to help loosen the bigger rocks. Still, I’m sure they are heavy to lug back to the car. There isn’t much competition in the colder weather, so that’s a good thing. I love your water videos. I could watch them all day. They are very relaxing.
Carrying a crowbar along with me would be almost as much work as carrying one of those large rocks home.
Super Stones....super place !
I agree with both of those statements. I love going to that beach.
Oh I wanted that mudstone :( Don't worry about water on your lens because my cat Silver shook water all over my screen lol . I do have to say your sense of humor and your sacrifice of comfort for the pudding stone made up for leaving the circle stone behind lol See you next video :)
I'm glad you've forgiven me for leaving it behind!
@@MichiganRocks Seriously it's your hobby/passion that you are lovely enough to share so I am happy that you do :)
Such a beautiful day, and the scenery is as well. Thanks for thee video.
It was a great day. Thanks for enjoying it with me.
Lugar lindo arrasou !
Excellent pedras 👏👏☝
Awesome adventure yup cold and windy not so much fun great eye again beautiful finds I’m sure they will turn out fantastic thank you for sharing
It was in the mid forties and it didn't get windy until the last hour. I really never got cold, except for my arms when I stuck them in the lake. It was a really nice day.
Enjoyed this one very much. Nice variety. My son and I had to get our rockhounding fix this weekend because it was so nice out. We were on Lake Huron in Port Huron. Little rocks but lots of fun.
It's just nice getting outside, isn't it? I spent most of the nice days this week cleaning up my yard a little more for winter. I loved every minute of it.
Oh yes! Rocks have feelings too! Nobody wants to be taken for granite.
An oldie but goodie!
Hunting stone...good master👍👍👍
Oh oh someone hurt granites feelings it got took for granite...( sorry folks)....and another great adventure on a rock hunt....very very nice finds too bad you couldn't take them all ! Lol
That granite will have to get over it. At least it won't get sliced up or have it's skin ground off. It should be relieved that I left it behind.
Loved all the rocks , specially the one at 17:15 and the green one with red at 18:00, you always find good rocks 😊
I don't always find good rocks. I just don't usually show you all the videos.
@@MichiganRocks It happens, I get sad when I go to a place and don’t find anything nice.
Reminds me of when I was on the northern shore of Lake Superior this summer. Such lovely rocks!
I love Lake Superior rocks too. I have only hunted the south shore, I'd love to get to the north shore sometime.
@@MichiganRocks Beautiful country for sure!
Pudding stones a lurking, granite stones with feelings, five nice Petoskey stones! I've got a song in my head!
I wish you'd taken the circle stone and sent it to me. And the bright unakite. And, and...😊
But we all have pictures to go back and look at. That's good, right?
@@MichiganRocks Oh, I suppose. I have to admit that was really the only way to collect the giant pudding stone. And I need to remember that there'll be some Petoskey stone polishing videos coming up. Okay, I'm good now. 😁
Just Beautiful Love the rocks and views.
It's a really nice beach. I love it there.
Love the sound of waves.
I think a lot of people almost like the waves better than the rocks. That's one of the reasons my videos don't have music.
Granite is cool to see once in a while too.
I'm trying to show it a little more often. I don't want to overdo it though.
@@MichiganRocks Makes sense.👍
Pretty great rock hunt today. I'm trying to remember all the cool rocks. I liked "Don't even have to pick it up to know it's a keeper." Then adds "but I will." I suppose if you didn't pick it up, that would preclude it from being a keeper, eh? Rob, yes rocks have feelings, but most of them are hard feelings. Great video Rob!
I hadn't been out in a few weeks, so that made it that much better. I got a few Petoskeys that I was after, so that was good too.
I moved back to Michigan15 years ago. I have yet to find a Petoskey Stone. ( and not for lack of trying, I am a Beach Girl). And yet my Husband can find one in the dirt road in front of our AirBnb! So.... as inferior as it might be, its coming home with me
Dirt roads can be decent places to look. That's one of the places my son and I looked when we first started playing with rocks.
The trick with beaches is to get as far from public accesses as possible. I walk a long way most of the time.
Thx! Needed that trip! Great location!
Glad you liked it.
Love all the rocks you have there, such a wide variety. The luck of living on an old craton. Hi from Italy!
I had to look up "craton". I had never heard that term. I'll have to read more about it. I think the variety of rocks we have here are a result of glaciers dropping them off from areas north of here. We also have some limestone fossils from the bedrock here on this beach.
@@MichiganRocks For fun, look up Superior Craton to get an idea of where many of the rocks you're finding along the shoreline are coming from. You're not on the craton itself, but on the Michigan Basin which buries one of the island-arc complexes that got slapped onto the continent over a billion years ago.
@@captpaul8827 I'm on it! Thanks Paul. Ok, my head hurts after just reading the Wikipedia article. It's not good when I have to look up every other word and then don't understand the words I looked up. I really do plan to watch your wife's TH-cam videos this winter. Hopefully, that will give me a little foundation to start learning more about geology. It's been 70 degrees this week, so it's not the time to sit in the house watching videos right now. Maybe next week.
Thanks for sharing.
Really beautiful rock with the purple and swirls. That big puddingstone was interesting!!!! Always enjoy the petoskey even if their not the best.
I passed up some pretty good Petoskeys that day, but I have enough at home that I don't need to bring them all home.
@@MichiganRocks we are learning that too ..it's so hard to leave them but ...yeah. You found alot of beautiful rocks this trip!!!
@@karenpacker8862 It was a good trip.
You found some really nice larger rocks on that trip. Would have loved to had that big pudding stone. We went rock hunting Thursday morning and got a few nice stones. The waves were a lot more vigorous than than those on Lake Huron. It has been that way the last four times I have gone out. My wife’s been collecting beach glass all summer. Her goal was to fill this large candy bowl and we made it this week.
I have been trying hard to get out on a calm day so I could fly my drone. This was the day. It's been really nice since making that video on Tuesday. I might get out to make one more video before the weather changes.
OMG, such awesome large rocks. What a gold mine those folks have
I think so. This is my favorite beach to hunt.
@@MichiganRocks which beach is this?
Great beach rock hunt. A lot of cool rocks. I like that you don't take every rock home. I'm sure by now you know which ones are keepers. The mud stone was nice. I love seeing all the different rocks you have there. I put my mom's pudding stones on my channel. It's not as smooth as the ones you have there.
I'll check out your puddingstone video.
Which video is it? I don't see any that look like they're about puddinstones.
At least you found a few of what you went out searching for toward the end of the trip🍀
Yep, I was happy with my haul. It was just nice getting out.
Lots of blue rocks today it seems
Beautiful video and so relaxing!! Your will power is so strong!! If you are catching and releasing, why don't you hint to where you where at so we can go back and find those gems? :)
I usually say exactly where I'm at. This beach is one that is all bordered by private property. I have permission to cross someone's land to get here. I don't want to encourage trespassing by publicizing the location.
@@MichiganRocks you are so lucky and your videos are just amazing!! So calming.
Looks like you had a good size range this time. Some of those petoskeys and puddingstone were real beauties....
They sure were. I only brought a few small ones home though.
Our waterways are muddy! Mississippi River, Reelfoot Lake, and Tennessee River, neat to see clear water.
NW Tennessee
I've seen some of those southern rivers that look like chocolate milk. I'm glad our lakes and rivers tend to be clear.
