Another crystal
Pat found a nice emerald crystal also, and proceeded to lose it in the grass, soon the area under the tent started to look like the stockyards when Jerry and I began to help in the search.
After crawling around on all fours for a while with no luck, it took Kens Nephew, Cameron Sexton to find the crystal.

With the good luck of finding Pats crystal, the rest of the evening went great, we had plenty of good food, drink, and fun well into the night. By 3:00 in the morning, all was quiet, the calm before the big day!
