"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

--Walt Disney

We received an email from our new friend Lynn in Mississippi that contained several images of unidentified rocks. He was wanting to know if we could help him find out what he and his family were finding on their property. When we opened the files and realized what they had, we got very excited! We told him what it was, and we soon received an offer to come see it for ourselves. Now, you know us...come hail or high water, we're goin' diggin'!!! And sure enough, we encountered both on our way to Mississippi!!

We finally broke out of the storms and hit the straight-away. We were laughing and text messaging and having a blast, and not paying a lick of attention to a very small but important guage on the dash....

THE GAS GUAGE!!! Monte said that since she had four kids, and lots of pushing experience, she would push the car all the way to the gas station... So out she hopped and started pushing..... Of course, Michelle hopped out ..... WITH HER CAMERA!!! Well, we made it to the gas station, filled up, and were on our way...again.

Soon, we arrived at the 139 acre farm where we would be staying. We couldn't wait to go exploring. We hit the ground running...straight through the cow pasture to the creek. WHOA! The first thing we saw was a big reminder to be alert and on our guard.

After our earlier encounter, Monte got her a sho' 'nuff snake stick!

No big huge poisonous snake is going to stop us from looking for our treasures!
