Unfortunately, I'm out. Just heard last night from my cousins and aunt that they are coming to visit that week. Haven't seen them in 30 years since the feud my aunt had with my father. They loved the OJ pendants I sent them BTW. You all have fun and we will be participating in more face to face RTH events once we are on the road. Have a blast Y'all! Jo

;D I am excited, I have booked our room for two nights. My wife and I are looking forward to meeting everyone. We are coming in on Friday. I don't want to miss a chance for a night mine trip. If any want to car pool to the mine, museum or show, let me know, we can take at least two, maybe three. I am hoping some others are able to attend. How about it Biker Randy? I know Rockmanken is to far away. See you guys in 3 weeks. Hey Fran bring pics of the house and tell me where you put the rock room Ed

I am so bummed, sounds like the NE Roundup is going to be great. Take plenty of pics to post so those of us who can't make it can at least be there through pictures. Hope you all have a great time.

Guys I am getting excited! It is going to be a blast, and I hope the East coast weather we have been having holds out until then. I am writing to the mine and trying to see if we can get a private group tour and collecting time, I will try to make it a little later on Saturday in case some people are just getting in, it is going to be blast!

I was waiting hoping I could end up making this trip but it looks like I can not make this one.Its a 10 hour drive for me its a bit far and no agates. Man I would love to go anyhow just to meet and talk rocks but that is the same weekend as the Mt. Mushroom and Ky. agate fest. they also have a 3 day Kentucky agate hunt on private land been wanting to go for years. Would have been a good place to have a RTH get together, maybe next year. I hope to set up at this show next year that is one reason I want to go down and check it out. Have fun all. George

Hey guys 5 days to go!!!! I am putting together a little schedule for anyone that wants to participate. NJ Show- Sat & Sun- Outdoor swap meet on Saturday a man in our club said this is a great show and the outdoor swap is awesome, so I thought maybe plan to get there at 9 when it opens? 1:00- mine tour at Sterling, admission I think is $8, and anything you collect $1.50 per pound. Following the tour at that location is a sale on site as well outside until 3:00 pm. Saturday afternoon/ or maybe Sunday Morning Field Trip: We have some nearby locations to collect some local material and carnelian, that we can hope the GPS directs us to if everyone is up for a road trip. 9:00 pm- 11:00 PM- Night Collecting If you want to do this night collecting trip for flourescent minerals, you must pre-register!!! go to www.uvworld.com $20 per person. We will probably not do that. Sunday: More show and collecting, I am sure there will still be lots to do. If you are going and do not have my cell or email that I get on my phone, please PM me, I want to make sure that everyone can hook up and meet. We will be arriving Friday evening by 8:00 hopefully, and looking forward to lots of rock talk and meeting new and old friends!!! We can't wait to meet you all! Don't know about bringing the cab machine it is sort of heavy and bulky and I am afraid will make too much noise in the hotel room, LOL, and dirt. Amber
