Hi
I am thinking of doing a day trip to a spot in lower New Hampshire. There is botryoidal hematite not to far off the main road. I have never been and only read about it on a rock-hounding site. I could meet people that will be passing through the Hartford area and car pool. Others we could meet at the site. At the very least we could meet, hound and go out to eat; hopefully we do all that and find some great hematite.
Let me know if you are interested. I was thinking about a weekday in early October. I am planning on taking several days off in October but haven't picked the days yet.
Thanx Larry
