Adams County travel Adams County you have quite the variety of EXPOSED BEDROCK to rummage through here 😁✨😁
I have a television show idea, and I think it could ruin a few marriages.
Ten rockhounds. Seven days. One suitcase each. Twenty-pound luggage limit. Drop them somewhere with more beautiful rocks than any reasonable person should be allowed near.
That’s it. That’s the show.
The first day, everybody’s pretending to be sensible. They’re only taking the really special ones. By lunch, somebody’s got thirty pounds of rocks in their pockets and hasn’t even made it to the good part of the creek.
By day three, somebody’s thrown away their shampoo, toothbrush, and half their clothes. One woman has a seventy-pound piece of quartz she’s convinced she can get through airport security if she acts natural.
There’s a married couple who haven’t spoken since Tuesday because he called one of her rocks ugly.
By day six, somebody’s trying to convince the cameraman to carry a backpack. Another contestant has buried rocks behind a tree because they’re coming back for them someday. They live 1,400 miles away.
And the finale?
Everybody has to pack their suitcase and get it under twenty pounds.
No shipping anything home. No extra bags. No exceptions.
I’d pay good money to watch ten grown adults decide which rocks they love enough to keep and which family members’ clothing they can throw away.
Hell, I’d volunteer for the show. But I already know I’d be walking home.
