Here are a couple of short videos from our Glass Butte trip with Mr. & Mrs. catmandewe. This first one is Dennis and Tony prying a piece of Obsidian out of a pit. This wasnt even the large one. ;D And here is a video near the Opalite dumps.......and of Tony trying to kill our dog.....by using her as a bowling pin! Not intentional of course LOL. Believe it or not that little sissy, sweater wearing pup climbed all the way up that. I think she's earned herself an RTH doggy t shirt. Shan

Very cool, that's a nice chunk of obsidian. What type is it? Looks like you had good (dry) weather.

Those doggies are gamers for sure. Glad the weather was pretty good for you - other than the cold.

Nice chunk of obsidian Shannon. Sounds like it was good and windy.

Nice trip! You now know that you need to spend a whole month there just to have a look at MOST of the sites. Some of the old first nations digs are really interesting, and a whole lot bigger than one would think given the tools they used to mine the material. I missed this one...bad timing for me. I will be going to the big knappin come March so will spend a week or so there. Woody

Great videos. Looks like you were having lots of fun. Where are the opalite dumps? I have been all over Glass Butte but don't recall Opalite dumps.
