Trying to get pictures downloaded and cropped. Will probably get them up in a little while. I sure wish everyone could have been there! We had a blast! Fran

OK, here are a few before I go to work this morning I will have to label them this afternoon. Gemhunter and his wife looking for some good deals We are looking at some cool slabs This guy was a real shyster. Had some good stuff but not all was and he wanted a lot for his stuff. That is Tonyturner and Bejewelme with him and I thought Robin did very well at holding back when he said "I bet you don't know what that is girlie" Yep. She did good ;D Little Mike, Bejewelme, Tonyturner, Mudshark in front of Tony and Catskillrocks on the r. We had just arrived at the Mine for the tour Nice copper statue of a miner with the reflection of the rock face in the window I didn't even notice this statue when I was there. It was later when I was going through the pictures my husband took for me. What you don't see is a bunch of rocks for sale by his feet and I was looking down around this area the whole time...That's my story. The florescent room in the museum. Huge florescent slabs! Counter top size. OK, that's better. At least you know what you are looking at. I have a bunch more photo's but they will have to wait. Fran

Fran: You are on the ball! Tonight I will try to do all the pics. Let me just say what an awesome weekend with some terrific peeps!!! It was such a pleasure being with everyone, and I think we all enjoyed it so much we want to make this an annual meet up. Best rock show we have been to, plenty to do, so last weekend in April, will be RTH Northeast Roundup #2 at Franklin, NJ. Thank you all for a great time spent with some really wonderful people. Amber

The best part of the trip were the people we were able to meet finally or see once again! Mike, little Mike, and Emily, Don, Ed and Robin, Jean and Jim, Tony and Amber, it was wonderful spending some quality "rock" time with you all! That is what I will treasure most of all! Fran

What a fun, magical weekend with wonderful folks. So great meeting all of you. Jim and I are still overwhelmed with your generosity. Mike, your kids are cool, so nice to have them with us. Plan to be there next year.

It was a fantastic time, as I expected it would be. It was great seeing Fran again and meeting Mr. Fran, what a character. Meeting Don (Catskill rocks), Ed & Robin (Gemhunter), Jean and Jim (Jean) and Mike (Mudshark) and his kids was a real highlight of the weekend. Lots of great rock talk and other talk as well. Not to mention the demise of more than a few beers. The maids will probably think Amber and I are alcoholics based on the number of beer cans and bottles in the trash cans in our room. Not mention the mine, lots of great rocks to buy and the equipment Amber and I picked up for a steal. Can't wait for next year's meeting to see you all again and hopefully some new people.

Fran, really nice pics. You managed to capture the vibrancy of those rocks. Mike, tell little Mike he does a fantastic job with the camera. You didn't look that bad after the party. You were definitely in better shape than miner #47.

Very cool pics, thanks for posting them all. Looks like you all had a blast. No campfire but sounds like the room party was a good one.

:)What a great time, I was going to post some pics, but my batteries went dead halfway through the show Tell Dave his pics of the fluorescent rocks were great, of his other pics were also great. I really liked the good looking guy in the first couple of photos ;D After mudsharks great pictures and story of terrific purchases my stuff would be redundant. What a fantastic time, Rob and I can't wait to go again. ED
