Awesome, Jeannie and I have a hug waiting for you! ... which I will gladly receive. I feel pretty good abt him getting a few extra days. The only other thing stopping me is if I am having a "spell" and can't walk. But, I've been pretty good, so fingers crossed. Meetups don't happen on this side of the map very often.

I'm not tumbling anymore but I hope to make this event and at least say hello to everyone and dig around in the dirt for a bit!

Well, I have a jack hammer...his name is Scott S or Shotgunner. All you have it do is buy him some beer. HA
Also, my dad is a no show and there goes my ride but I have other ways to get there, maybe. If I start walking (or whatever) now, I should be there in time. I will keep you up to date on what's going on. But I will find a way to get there. If you don't try, you will never win.

There's the metaphysical power of rocks. They've got Dale walking! And I just thought rocks were chick magnets. Everytime I'm wearing one of my pendants in Walmart a couple of old ladies compliment me on the stone. Lynn

Well, the walking part is a no go but you have to use your imagination for the whatever part. Crazier things have happened. :)

I know the backhoe dude but not well enough to get him out there. He rents the hoe so there is money involved. There is plenty of material there with out digging.

So for planning purposes, are we planning for the 6th or the 7th? Both have been mentioned recently. It doesn’t matter to me (I’ll be on summer vacation), but for people who live close, the weekend seems like it would make for a better day trip. I hope to stay with college friends in Ohio, so I need to see if they are available for visitors.
What are everyone’s thoughts on the $550 back hoe? Is it necessary? It wouldn’t be terrible if we had enough people, but I am not ready to commit to coming quite yet.

I agree that a weekend day would be better so I vote for the 7th. The backhoe fee don't sound bad IF it puts us on better material. Even if only 10 people go that is only $50 a piece. I think there will still be the $5.00 dig fee and the 50 cents per pound for what we take. I think I read somewhere that the dig fee went up to $7.50?

Also, the price of "admission" has changed, it's no longer $5 to dig, it's $7.50. Still $0.50/pound though. I was able to talk to Ms. Nether herself when I was there a couple weeks back. Very nice lady! I thought I read entry fee went up.

If Ed said $5 then that is what it is...maybe a group price.

Barring the unforeseen we are in. We are going to swing through KY and spend a day or two visiting family I haven't seen in a very long time.
