[Rockhounds] Help getting dirty

[david lehker]

HI Alan,
Thanks again for the leads.  We ended up doing some exploring in southern
Indiana and a bit further east in Kentucky where we were able to find a
number of Geodes.  The kids in our club will have a fun meeting later this
spring!  We hope to explore them once we're sure that the snow is passed -
quite a storm!
Thanks, Dave
