You guys getting a date set up? I'm planning an itinerary already...looking at 3-4 weeks. Start by going to a keokuk geode mine, visit my daughter in CoSpr, maybe hounding west of there, going to Richardson's in Madras, maybe Plush for some sunstones, pick up some obsidian at Glass Buttes, meet up with you for more hounding, see Tony's place, head back east on I90, look for fairburns and whatever else to look for on the way home..hoping to bring home a ton of rock.

I'm thinking this route with a side trip to where=ever you guys are going. Skipped the Keokuk mine and ordered a 100 lbs goo.gl/maps/EKA2a1TTPMkLee #1 PS - just hope the Durango holds up.

I'm planning on a couple days at Richardson's ranch since I'll be in the area and seeing if I can get into a sunstone mine in Plush. Oh, and a day at Glass Buttes. Anyone want to tag along?

The missus usually has to work on holidays that fall on Monday but we’ll see what happens. Is McDermitt the plan?
