I should have finished watching the video before commenting, those hot air balloons were really cool. And those rock finds. I hope to see a video on them being polished! What a nice trip.

@upnorthadventureswithccc

Seeing the donkey was awesome. I don't see them around my area. Such beautiful rocks and the views going down the road are amazing ! So many beauties out there. 3:55 is so nice ! Seeing those hot air balloons was way cool. Enjoyed watching๐Ÿ˜Š

@kristi618

Wonderful video Will! Sure wish it was still cool out here. Those rocks you found were amazing! I need to check that area out sometime. Those banded ones were neat!

@texazred3845

I live about 20 minutes from Lake Pleasant and would love to go out hunting for thundereggs (I just began my rock hobby), but I have no idea where to begin looking. Are they all around the area or is there a particular place where it is better to hunt? Thank you!!!

@mitchgillilan

I find so much chalcedony and rhyolite with agate in it up in that area. It's amazing how much material there is! I love all the donkeys up there too ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿซ
