Title: Flint ridge for rock
Post by: TRACY on July 19, 2011, 10:13:02 pm

I'm going to be passing through OH on 70 later this week and wanted to get some input/info on stopping and picking up some flint ridge. I remember Leapingbare mentioning Nethers Farm in the past, but thought I would tap into the vast knowledge here on where to go from others that are near or have been. Never been and hate to be going through there and not stopping to check it out. Thanks for any info!

Thanks for the info Russ and Curt. I spoke with Ed Mosher here and he said if I was short on time to go to Gary Hardy farm and pay a little for what he's got collected and heated. I'm taking a pit stop on a short family vacation, but will stop at the park museum to check out the history since it's not far off the path.
