Thanks for the comment. I plan on covering many more topics as time permits. I don't belong to any rock clubs right now. I was at a rock and gem show once at Mt. Hood Community College and did inquire about joining a club. I was told that the meetings were in the evening on the third Thursday (or something like that) of each month. I mentioned that I worked nights and was told that there was no point in joining if I couldn't attend meetings. And I<EM> </EM>thought that going on digs and exchanging information <EM>was</EM> the whole point. Ignorance is bliss I guess - <EM>meetings</EM> were the most important thing. Well anyway, I've been collecting for over 40 years and have lots of experience in the hobby, what does a rock club need with me? The only thing is that rock clubs often times have access to areas that may be off limits to the general public, hold the claim to certain collecting spots, and/or have up-to-date info on material availability at popular sites. So, what is your favorite material to collect and do you have a favorite collecting area?<BR><BR>Steve </FONT>Comment on Steve's Rock Shop and Miscellany Blog Pagetag:blog.stevesrockshopandmiscellany.com,2008-09-17:1371325Jackhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rock_Collecting_and_Field_Trips/2008-09-17T18:27:08Z2008-09-17T18:27:08ZHey Steve,<br /><br />Nice intro, covered a lot of information quite nicely.<br /><br />Do you belong to any local rockhound clubs?
