        Top; Ken using his long crow
        bar to pry loose a stone in a
        shallow area in a northern
        California river. The crow bar
        is painted a bright yellow so
        he can find it again in case it is
        dropped into the stream.
        Bottom; Ken places a possible
        candidate stone on a large
        boulder above water to take a
        closer look at the stone. Moss
        and debris covering the stone
        may have to be removed to
        determine the surface texture
        and color.
