well just got back from the great PNW late last night.
Too much work but at least I got a chance to play on the weekends.

That second weekend was a blast up at glass buttes!

Nice to meet some of the PNW knappers from this board.
I met aaron, keith and tell and a bunch of more great folks....
And good times were had by all.

Unfortunately all I had with me was my phone camera so pics didnt turn out real great.......

But here are a few....

By the way.... Billy... Met a bunch of guys that know you. Didnt know u lived up there in a past life. Uncle Steve said to say hello...
And a bunch of the other guys told me to tell you.... O wait this is a family oriented board. Guess I'll just have to wait to tell you what they said.
Later,
wade


My camp:



OR Biggs Jasper:



Dale 'blond bear' coleman:









'Uncle' Steve teachin:





that is about it.

Will see if I can get Mark to post his pics soon.

Again had a blast. enjoyed meeting up with some of the west coast knappers. Only wish I could have stayed longer.

I came home with a suit case full of preforms..... and mailed back 2 large std rate boxes to boot....
later,

Just a couple more..

This is what I carried home in my checked suitcase. Man the case weighed a ton with my scaled down knappin kit and all this rock. didnt think they were gonna let me check it.


That big preform is just over 16" long and 2" thick right now.... hope I can take it to the next stage with out having several rocks....

 Wade , nice pics and glad you had a good time. I'm sorry I didn't make it out there , My back flared up again and had a rough weekend. Going back in for another MRI.  hoping nothing bad as we already have our tickets for the Classic.  getting around a little better and waiting on the MRI schedule. I may try to ride out there with Dave later in the week but just taking a day at a time right now.

The next two posts are of Emory working out a blade. I sat there and took pictures. He worked this from a big rock into a nice blade in a matter of minutes, maybe 30 at the max.

And my last post of pictures.  This is a carving in Fire Obsidian.  It was carved by one of Emory's friends, I cant remember his name though. It was really really cool.  The pictures are hard to see the fire but it is there. It is some amazing stuff.

All in all I had a great time. I learned alot, I made a few points, Got some really good rock to break,  met Keith, Wade and Aaron, they are all great guys. 

Wayne, I did meet Emory.  I asked him about the jasper and he said it is hard hard stuff. I may try and get some ust to try and play with.
