Not sure when I'll make it there. Leaving the house around 5:30. Depending on construction zone speed limitations, I should get there close to 9:00. If it were up to self regulation, I'd be there by 8:30.

We will be driving a White Chevy dually. It will probably take about 45 min. to get there from hotel a little construction to contend with

Was great meeting everyone. Scored some great rock and we could not have asked for better weather.

Les, I wasn't far behind you. I left with 104#. Figured I had better get at least 100# if I'm driving that far. Pretty close for an on the fly estimate. The rocks are bathing and will get their glamour shots tomorrow.
It was a lot of fun meeting and chatting with everyone, a great first RTH meet and greet. I hope to make it to more. I believe everyone grabbed all the flint they could bother to pick up, the stuff is everywhere.
Finally, a well earned shower and then attempt to get some photos loaded up.

Randy, Sounds like you guys had a great time! Sometime I'll have to try and meet up as well - I'd love that. Convincing my wife to watch the kiddos is a whole different kind of battle

Paul as I had a blast. Had to actually start loading the tools to get Paul out of the pit. Did my best to clean and sort on site. We weighed out just shy of 100#. Great fun to meet everyone and hope to dig together again.

Some of the pictures I took. 1 My wife Anita. She had a good time playing in the dirt. She found an intact crystal pocket that needs cleaned and then pictures taken. Anita by Les K, on Flickr 2 fantastic5 , her husband Paul and fishnpinball . They spent a lot of time in that pit and I'm sure they got some good stuff we'll see later. Ann Paul Norman by Les K, on Flickr 3 jeannie , NRG , cardiobill . Bill and Scott were all over the place, find some here move find more there, it was pretty easy to find all you wanted. Scott is to the right you can just see his back sticking up above the tailing pile. Jeannie Scott Bill by Les K, on Flickr 4 Garage Rocker took pictures and picked flint he had a busy day. Randy by Les K, on Flickr 5 My wife and I inbtb taken by Garage Rocker after our tools were put away and it was time to head home. Les Anita by Les K, on Flickr It was a fun day. My wife is not really a rock hound but she played in the dirt looking for pretty rocks. If you get the chance to make a trip to Nethers farm to pick flint, do it at least once. Glad to meet everyone and glad everyone had a good time. Les

Thanks for all the pictures! It's nice to be able to put some faces to names and I must say ya'll are a bunch of handsome folks - especially Garage Rocker We feel bad for not making it - in hindsight maybe we tried to plan too much with cross country travel and instead should have focused on a weekend (flight) trip and at least gotten to enjoy meeting everyone and picking up some nice rocks in the process.
