Warmer Weather.

The weather is finally feeling warmer on the Lakes. This means more time to hunt. Since we are teachers, we do have another month of school to tend to before we can go hunting full time. We are definitely looking forward to that. Heading north this summer near Canada, we hope to find some really cool fluorescent rocks to share with you. There are beautiful amethyst mines where we are headed. We are planning to hit up some of those mines as well. The digging is intense sometimes, but is quite rewarding. If we do find some nice specimens, we will definitely share them.

It’s important to make sure that you have ample sun lotion when spending time on the Lakes. Because the temps are cooler, the weather can fool you into thinking that lotion is not necessary. It’s easy to get sunburnt on the Lakes if you don’t take strong precautions. Wearing layers is also important as the weather changes so easily.

Finally, PLEASE bring bug spray with you. I prefer the natural sprays and have heard good things about ‘Deez Natz’ Bug Repellant Spray from Etsy. We are going to try that this summer. The biting flies and mosquitoes are the worst and precaution is really necessary.

Most of all, have FUN! Fluorescent hunting is amazing. There are so many minerals, plants and insects that fluoresce. Every time we go, it is a treasure hunting trip!

Happy Hunting,
