I may have the sand, I will look, Jesse done some several years ago, if not I know I have dirt.

If no one else get there early I will see that it gets done.

I always have several around the week before that will help.

Whichever it is it needs to be dry.

Just got our case in from Chris at Hatchet creek cases. He was super generous to donate this case for the raffle table, now we just need to fill it up!

Bonepile and Steve are going to stop by my place on the way up. I'll load them up with what I was going to bring. Some coral and Fla. chert. That case will look nice filled with some points and color.

That is beautiful tell him it is much appreciated, Miss Joanie has won 2 of them in the passed and has them in a special place in our home, I am sure that will cost me also along with a lot of other nice stuff Is the rock cook still on? I talked to Bill [one of our members that knapps.] yesterday and he said he will help me with the pit and get the fire going if yall still plan on doing it, all I need is the rock. I have the sand already.

I will be at the cabin from the 22nd on so if anyone plans to send some to my house it needs to be there next week.

Looks like I'm likely heading up by myself, apart from Roger but I will be stopping to pick up rock at Eddie's. I'm not arriving 'til Thurs. afternoon, though. What day is the cook planned for?

I think it would be smart to get it in the ground and the fire started by Tues-Weds, but it will depend on someone taking charge of the setup that is there early in the week. I'm gonna get my rock boxed up and sent here soon so anyone else that plans to be involved better do the same. Just mail to Pappy and he'll get it down to the farm.

It's gettin close now!

We got it covered if yall get us the rock.

One medium flat rate box of rocks headed your way Pappy. They aren't bifaced or spalled, just smaller flat nodules with most of the cortex wore off. The heat treat fine in my turkey roaster that way. Josh

Just dropped my box in the mail. Joe's rock and mine are both in there but they are marked.

I'm getting a box out this week, also, Mark. It will have some coral I already heated but could use a little more and some chert.

Pappy, bringing a box with me if I don't forget to load it, Will Monday morning be early enough? Bob

Box just sent

That's great guys! Sounds like we could have rocks from 7-8 people! Surely we can turn something decent out of that large a sample size.
