Kyle you are a good son helping your mother and supporting her. I know she must be grateful for you being there in Michigan.

[deborahellenberger]

Paused, prayed. God bless your mom and you as you go through this. Isn’t it a blessing to have good friends to rock hound with. Enjoy this channel so much.

[johnbaenen]

I hope your mother is doing better Kyle I pray for her. Thank you for another great show Rob. Just imagine if them rocks could talk.

A trip to Rockport is never a bad time. Such a great snapshot into earth's past and life in the Michigan Basin. We certainly understand your situation, Kyle. Nat lost her mom a few years ago to cancer and it was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. Hang in there, guy....

[TinaHyde]

Honored to pray for your mom, Kyle. ☦️ What a blessing she has you to love and support her.

Every time I happened to be scrolling my subscription list on here, I come across a new video of yours. I just want to say how much I love your videos and I appreciate the time and effort you put into it all.

Praying for Denice 😊. I just went through this with my husband . Been a year 10/25/22 . A six month treatment time . My prayers are for complete recovery and strength for the recovery time . May she find peace, and patience as she grows stronger ❤. The Lord Bless you Denice ! So happy you have time for helping your mom 🫂🥰. Enjoy your adventure out today 😁. Beautiful pics 🥰

Super interesting video. I gotta plan the trip up there. I'm from Indiana and I tend to spend most my "Up North time" in the UP.
I think I would be a little freaked out hiking around sinkhole areas, even though those are "old ones." I already get enough flack from my daughter about my solo MI trips to hound remote beaches. I have quit telling her when I am heading out to hike in new woods - lol.
Kyle, I said a prayer for the best possible outcome for your mom, and I added her to my prayer list for complete healing. I put her down as "Kyle's mom from MI." ☺️ No need to know her name; God remembers all intentions!

🙋‍♀️❤ Another very cool video! Sink holes, atmosphere, history and. ..South of the equator? Wow.
Prayers for Kyle and Denise🙏

[cynthianewsome]

Sending many prayers, for your Mom, Denise. She’s been added to our prayer chain, for a full recovery! And thank you Rob & Kyle for your wonderful videos🙏🏼❣️

[wyomingadventures]

The fossil area and the sinkholes are very interesting. I would love to see them both. Prayers for Kyle's mom. My mom had cancer 15 years ago and we are thankful to still have her here. I will be praying for Kyle's mom.

[kimberlyaustin]

That's awesome!👍Really beautiful rock. -Kyle, I'm so sorry about your mom. Saying a prayer for healing and a most benevolent outcome for your mom 🙏💖

[daleburns]

Kyle - praying for comfort and healing for both you and your Mom during this time; your being with your mother certainly means a lot to her. Also want to say - another great video. Always enjoy tuning into Michigan rocks and seeing the latest - inspires me to look around New York area where I'm from to see what I can find.

[Rocking-SLC]

Wow, you guys are sitting on an amazing time capsule. Best wishes with your Mother Kyle.

[davidl.turner]

Thanks for showing us Rockport. Last summer we drove out there but a huge downpour kept us from exploring it. Now I get it a little. Prayers for Denise!

[darkwood]

Prayers sent Kyle! I really enjoy these "Fossil in the Wild" kinds of videos where we see the fossil in the natural matrix.

[LadyYoop]

I am so with you....moss and rocks....how stunning!

[kentsun]

Good luck with your mother Kyle. I'm sure that your being there is a comfort for her.

Kyle: I have been and will be praying for your Mom. I really appreciate Rob’s suggestion to pause the video and pray – I did just that.
Rob: I down in Rockport at the end of August and saw the same little blue flowers [at 4:00-4:15 on your video]. We have those in Cheboygan as well. They are “Lesser Fringed Gentians.” Cool rocks and beautiful flowers - God keeps showing-off 😉
I thoroughly enjoy both Rob’s and Kyle's videos. Keep up the good work guys!
