Looks like your out in the rain Eddie ;D. That's some standard stuff you'll find down there. How long are you here and will you have another day off? I wish I'd been paying attention this weekend, damn it :-\ :).

Ouch!  That stinks Eddie.  That means you leave earlier AND get shafted on turkey season.  What happened to leaving in March?

 Not far from where I'll be working is where it comes from, Paul. I'll have to see how hard it is to get it back to the States. I'll have all the USDA paper work ans stamps to import samples back.

A moment of silence.  Hey just tell me exactly where to set up a blind and I'll shoot a couple for ya!  >:D  Seriously, that's a bummer.  Hurry up, wait, hurry up, wait, hurry up....  gotta love it.  Tell them they owe you an Elk trip or something.

Most of that looks like some kind of chacedony.  The first and last picture looks like it would make beautiful points!
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

 Shannon, the rain makes it look purty. But that blue looking one is blue. I'm curious about some lite cream colored one I didn't take a picture of.

That first one with some banding in it will make a purty point, the last one will too but both of em are kinda quartzy chalky kinda hard to knap stuff. They'll work with an added amount of diligence ;D.

Ya know, now that I think about it. That stuff mostly reminds me of this Tallahata stuff - just my 10 cents.

It ain't crap!  That's good lookin stuff.  You'll feel good about any points you get from it.
 Paul and I were talking today about how about 4 in 10 chunks of Tallahatta work pretty good and he compared it to his pedernales.  He said it was about the same.  Not calling it crap...just that you have to work for it. :D
