with VW Beetles, excited by rocks!

I have been a rock collector since I was a kid, and that Bug finally provided
me a car that would take me most anywhere in North America in my search for
rare rocks.
Over the next two and a half decades, I drove my Beetles and related vehicles
about 1.5 million miles on trips to Canada, Mexico,
Ditto and thanks Bernd
I am still in touch with Jim's son and daughter and their families, Jim had
a great grandaughter born
This past June from Jim's grandaughter Amanda, for those of you who met her
as a little girl during early Gold Basin days.
