RV Hobby Rocks!

RV camp hosts Chuck and Gloria Hill enjoy their Montana 5th Wheel in the Arizona desert.

When you walk around to the other side of their rig you see a hobby in progress. They are busy cutting and grinding stones. You might say this hobby rocks! This couple enjoys collecting rocks and making them into beautiful jewelry quality stones. What better place than Gilla Bend, Arizona to collect rocks. We have more rocks here than rabbits, so it’s the perfect hobby for these RVers. Rock hounds enjoy Quartzsite Hobby, Craft and Gem show that starts Wednesday and goes through Frbruary 4th. If you happen to be in the area, check it out.

The nice thing about this hobby is that the equipment is small and therefore portable. The rocks are usually small so you can avoid the problem Lucy had in the 1954 movie "The Long Long Trailer" where she kept a heavy rock as a souvenir of every place they visited. Eventually the trailer became overloaded and well, you know the rest of the story. This shouldn’t happen with this hobby.

Gloria wants to say “Hi” to her granddaughter Samantha who is serving with our fabulous armed forces in Iraq. Can you believe this Sam, your grandma is now famous, a rock star if you will. From all of us here stateside I just want to give you a great big salute and a hearty “Thank You” for serving our country!
