At dawn every morning, a small flock of magpies appeared at the motel, scrounging around for food scraps. I never saw this bird on the east coast, but they are large and neatly colored black and white. Always left them a few pizza crusts outside my door. Photo shows 2 of the flock looking at me for a handout.
After 2 days of fish collecting I decided to drive north on Route 189 about 70 miles along the Green River to Big Piney and Marbleton. If you like looking at endless outcrops of rocks along a highway, this is the perfect trip to take. In Marbleton I visited Jim Gray's Rock Shop, which is larger than I expected and has a great sample of Wyoming material. Couldn't resist buying some Blue Forest petrified wood (2 photos of a limb cast) and Wiggins Fork WY petrified wood. Wiggins Fork wood has a light green color on the outside and can show waterline agate patterns and botryoidal agate habits.

Great field trip report Victor.  Those landscapes you captured are awesome. Excellent buys at Jim Gray's shop. Not many people can say they've gone fishing for 50 million year old fish.    Thanks for sharing!
