WORDS!!! This past Summer I was very fortunate to meet Woody, his wife Kathy, and their pooch. They were on their way to a 2 week rockhunting adventure...and they took a few minutes to come and say hi. I know Woody gave me some nice chunks of Maury Mtn. Moss that day ..but what I recieved in the mail yesterday really floored me! He PM'd me giving me a heads-up a few days ago...so I was anticipating a boxful of goodies. I had no idea it would be like this.... Busting through the seams... The opening.... Tahoma Jasper from 7 or 8 different veins, a nice chunk of Bat Cave Jasper, and a nice slab of his Jade....(now 3 nice slabs ;D) some close-ups... Batcave Jasper Tenaway Jade Thanks so Much Woody! Another RTH BEST! Steve

Those are just wonderful. The kindness of RTH displayed first hand. I have one as well when my camera battery is charged.

Woody's boxes are the best! I got one in the Christmas exchange last year and was floored!

Looks like the Post Office used this FRB for a football! Most of it seems to have made it. Makes one wonder what the PO does with all the escaped rock we lose every year. The box weighed 32 pounds at my PO. Woody

That bursting pack in the first picture is SO emblematic for the spirit of RTH! Steve, Woody gave you some first class material there, I'm sure you're gonna cut it and turn it into beautiful cabochons and echostones.

Holy cow was that flat rater ever over stuffed!! I'll bet that red sticker on top says 'warning..super freakin heavy!' lol
Lots of great rock there, and it couldn't have been delivered to a more deserving guy than you Steve.
WTG Woody!!

Beef, Funny you mentioned that...cuz I took a picture of it and that's exactly what it says. You'd think the PO would recognize that bright sticker. Randy...98% of this box is Tahoma!!! Cabs and Echostones to come....Whew...I can't wait til Christmas to order me some new wheels. Steve

Woody certainly is a nice guy with some great rocks. That Tahoma looks really sweet. Bet you will make some great looking cabs out of it.
