I think it is confusing having 2 different threads... one for the signup and one for the actual traveling rock box. Since the round has started, I suggest all posts related to Round 6 (after this one) go to the Round 6 thread, instead of the signup thread.

What do we do with this box I would love to clean it out and reload it but I cant get to my rocks for at least 2 weeks or more. Sorry about the long delay on getting back with this I was on vacation and work has been 12 hours its the most I have worked in years (in the last month) that's why I took Vacation it was killing me. If we wait till I can get To my rock pile and I can get some rocks cut up it will be a nice box for everyone. But if it gets back to me and looks like a dump pile then I will be done with any future swap boxes. BTW This is not the first time this has happened to me on a swap box one other time I sent two boxes to the next one in line so he could reload it and cut some rough up for the box. I have been collecting for near 30 years and have a lot of rock(tons). Most I have hounded myself so I do not worry about a few pounds of rock its The trading of rock that I do not have that I enjoy and putting something back in that someone else would enjoy or rarely see's because someone took the time to hound it where they are from. So what I would like to do is clean this box up then send the tumble left overs on to a lucky winner or other suggestions that anyone has. I will add some goodies to it so we could have a contest going while I get some rough cut up,it needs to be a hard one I need about a month lol. Sheri its up to you its your box. What ever you want to do goes, I would like to think all of us can revive the old swap box spirit on this box. I fill the box and you run things I hope please lol. George

George, I think it is a great idea! Lets try this one more time. If it comes back to me with junk, it is over! I should have checked the box before sending it out and will surely do it at the end of this round. Lets get back in the spirit of this box! Sheri

Didn't want to send too much and overload the box. I'll add more when it gets to me. Hope everything made it in one piece.

Scott, I filled the box for you. You take everything that you want. I thought some of those roundish stones might make some good rock balls. You had said something about nephrite a while back so I sent the piece of Wyoming nephrite to quench your thirst. It is a super solid piece. Just mix and match whatever. Same with the slabs. Keep what you want for yourself. You are spending the time to put this thing together so that is your reward. I hope this does not turn into two boxes or a large box so I have to bitch at everybody. lol Jim

The way they treat the large flat raters it may not be a good idea to send one out unless its packed light with a great deal of reinforcement lol. George
