This is Throwback Thursday #73. In these, we look back into the past at ESCONI specifically and Earth Science in general. If you have any contributions, (science, pictures, stories, etc ...), please sent them to [email protected]. Thanks!

You may recall we did a poem called "The Rock Pile" from Charles Schweitzer back in Throwback Thursday #59. Today, we have another poem by Mr. Schweitzer. It's called "The Rockhound's Wish". Again, we have the same message of rest and relaxation through rock collecting.
The Rockhound's Wish
A full canteen to take along.
I want a sack real stout and big,
A shovel too, so I can dig.
I want a pal to go with me
Who loves the desert full and free,
And fill my car with gas and oil
And lots of food that will not spoil
Then off through desert trails we wind,
To leave our care and toil behind.
I know of nothing I like more
Than hunting rocks from nature's store.-- Charles G, Schwitzer
