Today I woke up at 6:30 am and drove 105 miles (one way) to Freeport, Illinois to visit the Northwest Illinois Rock Club Show. This is a very small / local show that is held at the Eagles Club. The show opened at 9:00 am and I was out of the show before 9:30 am. Unlike last year, there was not much in regards to fossils. This show runs through Sunday and is 95% rocks and minerals. Heading out there this morning, I ran into a snow flurries, as it was 33 degrees and I also saw a rainbow. Here are a couple pics of the show. Since it was cold and early, there were not a lot of customers, but I know it gets busier as the day goes. I like to support these local shows, but only picked up this Oreodont jaw section for $15. I did not need another White River piece, but I do like things in matrix. After I left to start the 105 mile drive home, I stopped at a road cut at the corners of routes 20 and 26 and did a little collecting. I believe that the rock is dolomite, but did not search on the age or formation. Here are the couple pieces that I came across and pics of the roadcut.
