Is anyone here a MeatEater fan. They are doing a charity auction to raise money to enhance public land access in the U.S. I like the idea so a while ago I donated a big face polished agate to the auction. It's finally on the block and the bidding is up to $250! I think it's exciting and it makes me feel pretty good that I may have helped in some way to enhance public land access. If anyone is interested here's a link to the auction house. Polished Moss Agate store.themeateater.com/products/polished-moss-agate |

Nice ending to that one Lunk! I actually pulled this thread up yesterday morning on my phone, and meant to bump it up when there was 13 hours left in the auction...but then I got pulled in a different direction and forgot. Sorry. I'm really glad this went for a decent price for the cause. |
