[Rockhounds] Swatara Park - fossils?

[Frederick Olmstead]

Hi
I am aware of the web sites and info about Swatara Gap and the Park
I talked to a friend who was able to collect fossils at the Swatara Gap 
- BEFORE it was closed off 'cause
all 'them rockhounds collected and caused damage to 'hillside; (?) along 
the highway near the overpass (?)

I understand that a "truckload" (or more) material was moved from the 
Gap to the Swatara Park so collectors could
go there and collect.

I was just wondering if anyone has collected at the park - when - and 
what they found.

Thankzzzz

I also read ( on the 'net'?) that the PA parks were closed 'cause of 
money ....

If so - need to check to see if this park is open...
