We could grab chips or some other stuff too Sounds good to me. Send me a PM if anyone has any food allergies/sensitivities/dietary restrictions. None for us except I am not a fish person. 😁

Went to Nethers Farn today and picked up two 5gal buckets of Flint Ridge Flint. brybry here are the pit pics you requested. Pay no attention to the heavy person in the photo shes just there to size compare the bolgrt in the bottom of the pit . Hubby said he thinks there is between a dozen and a half to 2 dozeen pits. Had fun but would have been better to share the time with RTH members. Just got word that CLErocks and gemfreak95 at the last minute couldn't make it. greig had something come up so he wasn't able to make it this time as well as Son Of Beach. Wish we could have met. 78# already collected (2 - 5gal buckets) 2 more to go. Willing to share let me know. Good night all, have to get a good night sleep so I can go collect again tomorrow.

nursetumbler - Thanks for taking pics and taking the time to post them!! I don't ever get tired of seeing pictures of that place! I love the material from there and can't wait to see what you get for your "spoils"! I'm assuming you and hubby were able to get that boulder in that back of the pickup!

Have big enough pieces to slab, colors will come out with heat treatment from what I hear. I will get the stuff cleaned off and get it posted. Have a couple members that I promised some to but then if anyone wants any just have to let me know

I would have loved to be down there to share in that bounty with you, but c'est la vie. Hopefully we can coordinate another meet-up this summer, one that lines up with more people's schedules. In the mean time, I think I'll be headed down for the Knap-In on the 29th.
