What a trip
Parnell:
Wife and I camped in N Fl this weekend and I was just amazed at how much knappable rock I came across. Seems like everywhere I looked it was around. State parks building walls and amphitheater steps around the springs using giant chunks of often high quality chert, to it lining the banks of the rivers and finding workable chunks in drainage ditches. Never seen so much working rock just scattered around. Came home with a bunch of stuff that I didn’t expect! Time to get back to breaking some rock, for sure. What a great trip!
Parnell:
A few pictures from the area…Santa Fe River, the head spring of the Itcheetucknee, River’s End area. Beautiful area.

Florida springs are beautiful...the staff from work is headed down this coming weekend to swim with the manatees in Crystal River...I never noticed rock when I did the trips but then I wasn't as much an addict as I am now :-) Maybe I should go on the trip this time and look for rocks...Paul
