The Government Told Us To Come Here // Rockhounding Utah

This was an interesting location to visit for a number of reasons, you can find some quality chalcedony, the cinder cone is interesting to look at and maybe collect some cinders from and if you're into micro minerals, there appears to be some of those as well however I will need to go back to investigate those future.

Overall, this was a fantastic location to visit on a cool summer morning!

Thanks for watching!

Sarah should make ASMR videos, about rocks, and geology. Her natural voice is perfect for it. I get so relaxed every time she talks.
Loving your Utah videos!!

Pretty place. So much more fun when there's two looking together, even if the pickings are poor. I bravely go alone and discover that I'm not as brave as I thought... enjoy.

It’s great to hear Sarah’s thoughts and ideas about what you’re seeing there. And she DOES have a great eye 👁️ for spotting stuff. Thanks to you both for another opportunity to tag along. ❤

I love watching you and Sarah explore new areas. You just never know what you may uncover! Thank you for sharing !

[jodeath]

Welcome to Utah! I love all the videos of places to go in Utah! Hope you love it here!

Thanks for the post folks. Looked like a really nice day to be walking in a creek finding pretty rocks! Thanks for bringing us along!

Welcome to the Rockies Region. Will definitely have different rockhounding experiences. Please remember waterways are different out here. A downpour from a thunderstorm miles away can soon turn a stream or wash into a torrent so always have a way to get out fast.

You guys are so great. "That's acid worthy" is such a magnificent rock-geek line.. Love that you moved to Utah, I drive I - 15 from Vegas up to I -70 in Utah then over to Denver a few times a year and am so excited to rockhound some of the spots in your wonderful vids.

I can’t wait to see some of those agates cut…Absolutely nothing boring about your finds!

[geoffjohnson]

This was a textbook perfect example of real life rockhounding in a new area; I quite enjoyed it. Get excited to explore a new area, maybe feel a little lost and partially disappointed because of what you aren't seeing much of, then find a couple things that bring hope, excitement, and energy to hike once again, find some fun things, and then feel satisfied overall that you made the trip and learned some new things. That journey to some like myself are what we rock nerds live for, lol. Great video; I hope you head back and crack into some new cool stuff! Take care

Your presentations are fine. You are the emcee, and Sarah is the guest star.
In the desert, two things are highly valued….water, and shade. This video had both.
I could see the highway Sarah pointed out, because a speck of white car went by. I look forward to your next trip there. Thank you.

That looked like a great day and nice finds!!!

[kellyharper]

Great music... beautiful scenery... so much fun rockhunting with you via YouTube!

It’s been interesting watching you guys for a few years now. I think Sarah was a lot more camera shy in the earlier videos. It’s nice that you both have mics now. I never thought that you didn’t let her talk… she seems to be more introverted than you are and isn’t as chatty on camera.
While we miss you in the PNW, it’s fun watching you explore new areas. There’s so much in southern Utah and the rocks there are older than in the PNW.

Awesome finds, inserting location, that "volcanic bomb" is pretty interesting!

[markattardo]

I find it super cool to watch you both hounding next to a cinder cone.

[sfbfriend]

It's never a bad day when you have such a beautiful area to explore. Definitely an area to return to. Utah is an interesting state, have been there many times, my brother is there, although he is not the reason I like Utah. I do believe you two will enjoy it. You both have a calm approach to rockhounding, relaxing nothing in your face, if that makes any sense, plus you guys compliment each other. 
You're right next door to Arizona, which offers so much in rockhounding, personal opinion. 
Thanks enjoyed the video.

Very nice. Great info for Rockhounding Utah. Thanks Sara and Jared!

The stone Sarah is trying to get in focus at about 25:25 looks like what we call Cosmo agate because of the orbs. It's also semi translucent when cit thin. Purple agate has been found near the Cinder Hill.

Nice finds and the view there is beautiful
