Box 158...Hey that's ME!

This is the box I got in the mail on Friday! Ain't it a beautiful thing...Dirt, just for me. This is what it looked like on the outside, and in and of itself, is a wonderful thing....But WAIT! There's more...


the stuff below is what came on the inside of the box... 5 samples from all over the place!

The letter along with it reads as follows:












The letter is from my sister Sue Harrington. The dirt traveled from Tonopah, Nevada to Indian Springs, to Tehachapi, to Baker and then finally to Boron. Oh, and least us not forget to Orem, Utah and my personal favorite spot...BOX 158.


Thanks sis! For thinking about me on your journey, and for just being my sista!!

Las Vegas Strip and Lake Mead


I was saving this post for a later date in hopes that more samples from this person would come in. My enthusiasm prevents me from waiting any longer! Here are samples from another person whom I have never met in person, but we have a mutual acquaintance. Her samples are unique in that they are both dirt, gravel, and rocks all in one! The samples were taken from the strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, Lake Mead, Nevada and another sight just outside of Lake Mead. The thing about dirt from Nevada is that no matter where it is sent from, it always seems so dry and crumbly. These samples are no different. I actually took the rock she sent and made it part of a planter decoration in my home. Her name is KK and she also sent some really cool samples from San Diego which I will post about later. THANK YOU! Keep the samples coming!
