Nice work Jamie.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

Cool stuff..thanks for sharing and showing your hammerstones. I tried and experimented with them for the first time last weekend and liked it a lot. I think once I get better ill prob trend to the abo tools.

That rootbeer gots some neat synchronized light streaks on it. And good job on the stink rock with stones n bone ;) im 2-3 hours south of the onandaga escarpment. I've thought of heading up there to find some.  ::)

 Very nice, Jamie, too bad about the Clovis.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I always like to see tools.  Nice points, the last three didn't load for me.  I hope the big oops wasn't to that cool one w/ the badger claw in it.  :(

The jasper area is prob about a 6 hour drive,but im always up for an adventure. Just let me know. After archery season is over ill have most weekends open,so just give me a holler. There's also meta rhyolite and basalt down on south mountain just west of Gettysburg, I've thought of heading over there too,but not sure if that hard rock is worth it.  ;)

Chris, a "Rocky Road Trip" would be a pretty cool adventure...need a 1 ton pickup with dualies and maybe a nice trailer to help gather the haul  8)
