All across Hell & half of Texas. Seriously about 6.5 hrs.  Almost half of TX. >:D

I regularly (2-3 times a year) drive to Glass Buttes, 400 miles one way.  I have gone as far as Craig Ratzat's quarry (2150 miles) but that was just taking advantage of a family reunion that was relatively close by.  I just got back from collecting jasper in the Bad Lands of South Dakota but, again, I was passing through on the way back from a music festival in Iowa.  My home is about 30 miles from the Pacific, in Washington.

I've been all over south TX which is hundreds of miles but i was at work around there anyway. I did hit Ratzats place one time on the way through too. Would love to hit glass buttes one day but man that a long haul..

 From Houston on a Sunday morning at the butt crack of dawn, calling my guide, Cowboy, getting his  voicemail, on the way to to San Antonio and then west of there, calling Cowboy's voicemail ::), then turn around and head towards Laredo, calling Cowboy's voicemail :-\ , then found some rock in a corn field south of San Antonio, loaded up about 200# and headed back to Houston, got Cowboy's voicemail again. Made it back about 8 that night and three tanks of gas later. :o ;D

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

3rd base mostly. Several homers that weren't spectacular, but I make it to third base a LOT with a lot of heavy petting and fondling and sweet talking. Get it right where I want it ya know? Then always screw up something before really knocking it out of the park.
