[Rockhounds] Our summer trip

[Alan Goldstein]

The fluorspar district in western KY is not too far from Mammoth Cave (about 
2 hours west on the Western Kentucky Parkway). You can contact the Clement 
Museum (beclement at kynet.biz) to see what is available. There are geode 
collecting areas on the Cumberland Parkway and fossil and minerals around 
Lake Cumberland which is currently 30' below summer pool while they repair 
the Wolf Creek Dam. I can offer anything more specific because I don't get 
down there very often.
