😠 Recognize these vehicles? BLM is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to justice for the shooting and killing of 19 wild burros.

The animals were found along Interstate 15 between Baker, California and Primm, Nevada on August 13, 2019.

Sometimes to buy a rock collection you have to take stuff you aren't interested in. The obsidian arrowheads were collected 1950 thru '53 by a man who helped form the Indian Wells Gem and Mineral Society. They were collected in what is now China Lake Naval Weapons Station. $40, located in Onyx.
