Up in sumerset ,KY to visit my parents :). They live on Lake Cumberland. Where is the best place to start looking for rock ???? We'll be in a boat (aluminum bass boat) 25hm motor. Would like to find some blue to bring back for Bill Skinner ;). A little payback for the help he's given us. 8)Any help will be greatly appriciated. Got the boat to get it back to the truck and the truck to get it home. Now all I have to find is some to put in the boat to put in the truck
Thanks for the help my friends ;D

Thanks for thinking about me but hang on to what you find. You are at the tonnage stage, you know what you want to do but you need practice. You got to hit lots of rocks, and you will need all you can get your hands on. I look forward to seeing you in August at Tannehill. Bill

A lot of the area around Somerset is mostly Pennsylvanian sandstone from what I've seen-no chert. But the Mississippian limestone formation is right under the sandstone, so if you can fine some exposed limestone formations, you can probably find chert. Around the lake might be a good spot to try. I looked around the upper end of the lake around the Rockcastle River arm once, but all the bedrock around there was still sandstone.
