Date for Glass Buttes Knapp in???

[Yokut]

I'm fairly new to the group but heard about a possible Glass Buttes knapp in... anyone know if that's happening this year and when it might be??? Thanks, Yokut

 Glass Butte Knappin is always the last week of March. so this year it would be March 20 -28th People filter in on that first weekend then through out the week some come and some go depending on how far they are traveling. Be perpared for rain,sleet,hail, snow or sun and warm.   really a great bunch and allot of fun with as much obsidian as you can haul.

Thanks Keenan, I sure like the sounds of an END of March date better though! Gonna be a bit nippy I'd think. I should be able to attend at least one or two of those days. Most likely somewhere between Feb. 26-28th. - Yokut

I am from Idaho and am hoping to make the 5 or so hour trip out. Would love to pick rock and learn alot to.  Maybe we will see you all there.

 I'm sure that Myself, Dave aka Juniper Junkie and Blacktail will all be out there for some of it. And Of coarse the famous monster blade technician Emory Coons will be there. If you have never seen him dissect a three foot diam. chunk of obsidian it is a real treat.  He can usually turn it into a bunch of huge usable spalls and leave the core as a blade. He's made many over 2 feet long and several three footers.

 That could be I am just going off of the past. It's always been the last week to the first of April. I'll make some calls to try to nail it down for sure.  yYes looks like it is going to be March 20-28th this year. Sorry for the confusion. I'll check my facts next time instead of going off of past.

YEE HA!.

Think I worked out a deal with my work.
Gotta travel to portland for work for a couple weeks sometime over the next 2 months. Believe I have it worked out so that I got my travel dates to match up with the knapp in. Will do the work trip and stay over the weekend and hit the buttes knapp in.

Looking forward to beating on some glass, bleeding, and socializing with all you PNW knappers!

I will try and be good and not to corrupt Y'all too much with my southern ways.    course a little bit of southern hospitality aint all bad.

Y'all are bringing the grits rite? Or do I need to?

later
