I called the historical museum, and Rock Springs did get its name

Maybe your area is simply too dry. But since I have spent quite a bit of
time in the woods and forest in the past, I have found that at least in
Tennessee finding springs is easy. Either walk the river, or on the
road dive, until you cross a year round creek. Then walk up the creek,

There are no woods or forest here, no naturally growing trees at all
except right along beside the river. It really is a desert.

Southwest wyoming, high altitude desert. The only water sources right

Hi Frank,
Fluorine gas, as in fluorocarbons (regarding the newer refrigerants) are
supposed to have a low boiling point, why would this be? Is it because it

Also where do one get glass beads?

Hi There is a difference between fluorine and fluoride. Fluorine is a

distillation. Fluoride is an anion usually bound to a mineral such as
sodium or calcium, etc by

At 6300 ft =2100 meters! Without looking at your distiller I can't tell
