fishnpinball is this the newly open to public ranch down in alpine tx? yes it is. For 2 hours of hunting in the snow I was highly impressed by finding that plume agate. I saw several golden moss agates around the same size but only kept one.

I'm glad you were able to get out there, but sorry you had to deal with the white stuff. What a great looking hounding grounds!

Would love to go but if I am reading the schedule correctly it is not very collecting friendly with just 2 days during any one week. It's a 1000 miles of driving for 2 days of collecting. Still temped to go. Really thought that when I retired more collecting trips would be on the agenda, unfortunately that has not been the case. Even despite no trips, my chore list around the house is only getting longer. The freak weather this week and AT&T trenching 120 feet across my backyard and thru my garden and rock storage area two weeks ago has set me back even further.

Teri Smith has not posted any spring hunts yet, you might be able to coordinate there. Also considering I picked up 85 pounds in 2 hours while snow was coating the rocks.... Day was still worth it even though it was cut short. The camping weekend is primitive camping. Also you might be able to talk to Aaron and get a couple of days added. I picked a weekend in April that had 3 days, 2 on 06 and one on Larremore to return.
