Something positive

[DaisyRose]

I had a rough day at work and I need some positive vibes. My positive thought is I got through the day.

You're not at work now. Enjoy it!

Something nice perhaps...

Been studying Custer's Last Stand, so not much positive to report.

How about something just to make you smile:

Sorry that you had a rough day at work! I'm glad you got through the day. I've learned to take things one day at a time.

My positive thought is that I am leaving in a few hours on a 7-day road trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan with my wife. Going to do some rockhounding along the beaches, hiking, check out some lighthouses, waterfalls, and to a boat tour of Pictured Rocks. Looking to find some of the many unique rocks and minerals that can only be found along the shores of the upper peninsula of Michigan.

My positive thought for you @DaisyRose is seeing all the sweet little tiny creatures of the world that make us happy.

Do you have a UV flashlight to go find Yooperlite? Good hunting.

I'm going out for some exploring today.

No destination. All journey.

My friend’s dog. Thought this might make you smile!
Hang in there. Things will get better

Have switched to The Battle of Isandlawana. Perhaps that will yield more encouraging thoughts.

My positive thoughts are good memories of childhood vacations in Copper Harbor, in the UP, especially looking for agates on the rocky beaches.

You betcha ay! Two, in fact.

Woke up in Houghton, MI this morning. Heading up to Copper Harbor in a bit. Will work our way down the lakeshore to Ontonagan, then back to Houghton for the evening.

Up there, I used to enjoy the part of the Niagara Escarpment in the Porcupine Mountains. Please let me know how your Yooperlite hunt goes. If you are ever in the mood to go further afield there is some good rockhounding in the vicinity of Delta Utah. Snowflake Obsidian, Sunstone, Topaz (at Topaz Mountain) and Trilobites at the U Dig quarry.

On Nov 5th I will be heading to Morocco on a geology trip into the Anti-Atlas.

Thanks for the info.

So, last night, we tried our luck at Yooperlite hunting along Agate Beach Park. Frankly, it was us and about 4-5 other couples. I didn't realize it was such a popular thing, but here we are in 2023, social media and YouTube, so those with an interest are in the know. At any rate, we were out in the dark for the better part of 90 minutes or so, scanning every nook and cranny of that beach along a good 3/4 mile stretch. Nothing, nada. I am hoping we will have better luck along the stretch between Munising and Whitefish Point, but that will be in a few days.

I did find one nice agate at McClain State Park, as well as a few "Magates" (maybe agates) at McClain S.P. and Agate Beach Park.

I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I went up to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, Copper Harbor, but we got out on the beach and every rock, pebble, sand, everything was that dark Burgundy. All iron formation. Reminded me somewhat of the "red sand" beaches in Hawaii. As I was walking down to the beach, there was orange Thompsonite crystals imbedded into the rock, like a lot of it, including a huge vein of it about 6-8 inches wide and probably a good 20-25 feet. Of course, I purposefully left my rock hammer at home thinking I was walking along the beaches looking for pretty rocks. Go figure. I took pictures of it anyway.

As we made our way down the western Keweenaw coast, the vast majority of the rocks were iron formation, jaspers, and the like, but as we moved southward, we started to get into more colorful rocks. I was hoping to find some of those red and black magnetite conglomerates that I've seen others pick up, but no, "skunked again". I had my magnet on a stick with me at McClain S.P. and the sand was probably a good 10-20% magnetite, highly magnetic black grit.

Going to a huge rock shop in Ahmeek, about 10 miles north of Houghton/Hancock this morning and then to the Mining and Mineral Museum on the Michigan Tech University campus. Then traveling along the Lake Superior shoreline to Munising today.

I have never encountered Thompsonite. I hope you will have better luck with Yooperlite on the beaches you will visit. Like finding petoskey stones around me anymore, you need to get to seldomly visited beaches.
