juniper junkie:

D. Tiller:
Will be there for the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. Just wish I could stay longer!

Not sure on timing David but it's looking like we will be out there the first weekend as well. I talked to Dave this morning and it's sounds like that is what he is planning as well.
These pics are from a about 2 months after my open heart surgery. These are some true friends. Drove me all the way out there to dig rocks for me to bust up when feeling better. At that time I couldn't do hardley anything and they dug and followed that vain of rainbow obsidian and sent me home with a truck load of some really nice nodes.
If you've never been there, it has some great quallity and varieties of obsidian. Well worth the trip. Not to metion that there will be some of the best nappers in the world there.
As someone stated on another thread. Emory Coons is usually there and he skills are amasing to watch. Keenan

Maaaaaaannn! Wish I could go and dig into some of that Keenan :'(. I'd be right at home for sure ;D.
D. Tiller:
Go there as often as I can! Just wish it was more often Keenan! Is that you in the middle? If so I will know who to look out for.
So, you joined the golden zipper club? Sorry to hear about that. My grandfather went through five way bipass surgery arround 15 years ago and hes still going strong to this day. Now turning 81 this year and does IDPA shooting with the young pups and woopen their buts!
Rainbow is nice but I know where some of the good stuff is and also we need to track down the Forest Green again. Cant remember where that came from. The pumpkin hole is also good for some really big stuff. You need to really dig deep for the boulders though!
You have a pry bar by any chance? I will be bringing a pick and shovell. Hmm! Got a 4x4 I can tag along on? My Honda fit can barley make it into the camping spot!
Paul, you need to head up here for one of the big gatherings. The guys are a blast and the first night is a hoot! You think them southern boys can party! Amaizing some of the guys and galls can walk the next morning!!! ;D Oh! Almost forgot to mention you wont ever have to pick at them flint pebbles ever again! ;D 3 Foot long slabs of Obsidian :o :o :o, MMMMM AAAAAHHHHH!!!! THWAK! CHINK!!!! ;D ;D ;D
