Kathy Kline and husband, Ken, went insulator hunting on their wedding anniversary. They went out to cover ground above a old power house in Northern California where Ken and some of his friends had hunted before. There was a difference this time. A forest fire had burned through the area, revealing quite a number of insulators missed previously because of heavy brush and poison oak. While most of the insulators had fractured because of the fire, Kathy notice a small amount of aqua glass barely showing on the surface.

She started digging around the bit of glass, and the more she dug, the bigger the object became. It took a while, but in the end Kathy recovered a CD 283 # 1 Provo.

Who should we congratulate more: Kathy for finding the insulator; or Ken for getting his wife to go insulator hunting on their anniversary?
