Day 1 at the Joshua Tree Spring Gem and Mineral show.

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 30th Mar 2017

We arrived here yesterday morning after leaving our house at 0500.  We made good time and had the trailer all set up by 9 AM.  I have to say the booth looked amazing by the time we were finished.  Every thing was battened down with stakes and nails.  

I had all the spheres grouped by continents.  The display was really a work of art if I do say so myself.  You sure couldn't tell that now.  The book cases are on the ground.  Spheres all over the place because we now have 35mph sustained winds with gusts up to 70 MPH.   It is wailing here.  Only at this show would I repeatedly put myself up for this abuse.   We shall see what tomorrow brings.  The winds are only supposed to be 25mph, which is doable if the tents survive the night.  

Thanks for reading.......
