Rockhounding Adventures with Nancy Artwork

So, There I Am...

This is Travis Jay Vernon and Welcome! to the So There I Am... Podcast. I have been spending time in the outdoors since I could walk. I started out catching frogs and insects, and then hunting with everything from a BB gun and archery gear, to chasing big game with a rifle. I have been an avid fisherman everywhere I have lived and traveled. Cooking, foraging, fishing, and hunting have been a driving force for me. The only thing I am more passionate about than these things is sharing them with others and teaching those who want to learn. Along the way I have told, heard, and lived different stories.Stories told well allow a listener to live vicariously, reminisce of past experiences, or even dream of adventures to come. I will be sharing stories with you from my own experiences as a fly-fishing guide, retail manager, outdoor enthusiast, traveler, explorer and just everyday life. There will be stories from guests and stories from friends and others in different locales and varied walks of life. Every day is an opportunity for new adventures and expanding your own story. Let’s get to the stories!So, there I am…

Rockhounding Adventures with Nancy

Locations: Wyoming and Utah

There are some amazing rocks and gems you can find in the outdoors. I grew up looking for fossils and rocks. Rockhounding has been a part of my life and I am lucky that my wife Nancy not only tolerates it but enjoys it with me. We have 2 rotary tumblers and a vibratory tumbler now and I am sure we will have more lapidary stuff to play with as we get older. It is just one more thing to look at the ground for and they make some beautiful conversation pieces. Since our trip to Scotland and Ireland was once again put on hold due to Covid and travel restrictions we decided to go on a week long rockhounding adventure. Make sure you visit your local rock shop and do your best to always get your supplies from local dealers when possible or online from small mom and pop shops when you can.

Get out there and live your stories!!
