Starting a new thread for this so it will be easier to determine how many people are going now since the number has bounced around a lot and to make it easier to see where the final hounding location.
Currently the dates are July 7 and 8th. Location will be Nether's Ridge. 3680 Flint Ridge Road, Hopewell, Ohio
I am planning on attending.
Meet up time will be 9 AM.

I said count us in when this first came up, but due to the pretty much failure of my wife's back fusion surgery last April [2017], we have to beg off. Looks like our travelling days are all but done.

I hate to hear that. It does point out why we need an update. I was planning on bringing my brother in law but that fell through also. He is taking care of his dad.

Sadly, it's also a no for us. We had ambitious plans of a cross-country trip with the trailer in tow but big dreams, work schedules, and small budgets don't always play nice.

Spicemen is a no go. Too many things have to be just right. But that's ok.

My best friend is turning 50 29 again that weekend and when I asked her what she wanted to do, she said go dig at Nethers. So it looks like I'm in! There will probably be 4 of us in total. I think both of our husbands want to come as well. melhill1659 ?

Let me split some hairs here. Is it Nethers Ridge or Nethers Farm? The address comes back to Nethers Farm, so I'm just looking for folks not to be confused by name if that's an issue.

Mike Streeter did an excellent report on digging flint at Nether's Farm, which is located on top of the Flint Ridge formation, a unique 8 mile long geologic site. His post will really give you an accurate impression of what the site is like. mcrocks.com/ftr10-1/StreeterSeptember2010.html. Or, just go to mcrocks.com, scroll down to field trips, then click on the Ohio section. As an aside, I live 1 mile from the Sylvania Fossil Park. This is a site designed for kids to dig through piles of stone they dump specifically for that purpose; it is not a place for serious fossil hounds.

Where are you staying? Camping on site, or a campground? Just trying to firm up our plans.

What time are we meeting? We are staying at Garland Hotel in New Concord, probably about 25 or 30 minute drive. Also what tools will be needed? Planning to bring sledge hammer and shovel and small rock chisel, plus buckets.

Planning to bring sledge hammer and shovel and small rock chisel, plus buckets. Les I will give us a start time of 9 AM on Saturday and Sunday. Of course Sunday, since we will be working a site, it will be more of a show up and start in when you want. Expect a little chaos the first day....
