Yep, I'll be there - even if the creek does rise ;D. That's about an hour worth of pickin and boppin, couldn't locate the farmer this time and you have to drive about a mile across his place (in the wide open) to get to that hill - his corn was already startin to sprout so I was a little uneasy about being there walking around. You know how them land owners can be :D..

Whelp, I spalled and bi-faced a bunch of that today - will get a bucket or so worth treated up for the classic. Whatever I load in the back of the truck (raw) will be fair game - just watch the paint :D. You'll recognize it Marshrat, there'll be a crowd gathered around :D..

LB-I'd like to-I love that stuff for making hunting points. James is the man. Most of what little I know about knapping I learned from watching him.
