[Rockhounds] Best 2008 Collecting Trips

[Glenn Wimpee]

ALL of them!
 
These are my 3 top picks: 1) The Falls of the Ohio State Park collecting piles to Eastern PA and lots of stops including Franklin, N.C. on our super trip up one side and down the other from the Gulf Coast to Niagara Falls. Several trips in one that included fossils (my first self collected brachiopods) and minerals including Eastonite and a mystery "rock" with reddish starbursts and slightly radioactive with a bit of thorium.
 
2) Canoeing down the Peace River in Florida and finding lots of shark teeth, ray plates, and a nice fossil gator tooth with Jeanette.
 
3) A few minutes the day after Christmas at a small road cut off the Natchez Trace near Tupelo, Mississippi with my rock loving grandson finding exogyra oysters and gastropods in an exposure of the Selma Chalk Fomation.
