Thanks guys. Yes the rock is thick in certain places. One road cut there's balls of flint sticking out about twelve feet up but I can't get it :(.  And yes Bob there's cholla everywhere too, mesquite and not much else.

Paul:  Some really fine looking points!  Looks like Hawk Huston and I will be going down to Texas in Oct. to a Pow Wow at Rattlin Randy's to hunt hogs, deer, and turkeys!  Its funny that people want to come here to hunt elk and I want to go to texas to hunt hogs!  How is your daughter doing?  Joe

That's some mighty fine knappin Paul. I hope that rock was suitable.
