I was just up there but unfortunately didn't take a picture at the Pow Wow. It was my first time to Prineville and I gotta say, it is a gorgeous site coming down that mountain into the town. Makes you want to live there. A little too cold in the Winter for this guy but just a beautiful area. Anyway, I met some creative people at the show and had a good time. I met flintknapper Emory Coons there also. I've read and heard about him for a while now, nice to meet him in person. He gave us some info on Glass Buttes and we went up and came away with some very nice obsidian the next day. Prineville is near some good collecting areas so we visited Richardson's Rock Ranch and the Polka Dot Agate Mine. I have to say, Dale and Tasha at the Polka Dot Mine are some of the nicest people to do business with. Had a great time there and came away with some exceptional Polka Dot Agate, Amethyst Sage Agate and I broke down and bought 1 stunning piece of Blue Mountain Jasper. Holy crap, is that stuff gorgeous! I wasn't gonna buy any as it's pricey but when I saw a polished slab with all the color and orbs, I had to get just one to slab myself. Anyway, I love that area too and plan on going back again next year. Wish I would have taken pictures at the Pow Wow though.

Nice area, but its just a bunch of booths set up as any other rock show... Many vendors though... I know a few buddies that set up there.. But photos are few...
