Good deal Perkins and great report. On a funny but unrelated to rockhounding experience with Ginko trees; which are still around: we had some of these trees at my junior high school. Some kids figured out that if you smash the little yellow berries they produce a horrid smell akin to a outhouse. We would smash the berries in math class every other day and they would evacuate the classroom for about 20 minutes for the smell to go away. We would sit in a circle beneath the trees and revel in our cleverness on getting out of class. Needless to say the filling year they removed all the ginko trees from the campus. Sorry for the hijack but I forgot all about that till I read ginko lol. Thank you! Funny story. That's how school was for me too. Anything to get out of class at that age. No worries about the "hijack" I'm the king of those.

Remember the sign I was talking about? I found a picture of it. This one really freaked me when I saw it so here goes: IMG_20220416_185233 by Perkins17, on Flickr I don't really want to post this but just wanted to show what I was talking about.
