I'm starting to plan a trip to the Tucson Fossil Show in February. (This will be my first time there.) I've only got a couple of days and I know there are dozens of separate shows, so I want to plan my time to visit the best of them. It seems like the 22nd Street Show should be a good one to attend, what other ones should I think about attending? What Fossil Forum members will be exhibiting there? I'd like to try to at least stop by and say hello, maybe buy something, too.

I'll be traveling to back to Tulsa for the week of Thanksgiving and the first week of December and was wanting to see if anyone wanted to try and organize a member hunt and/or meet-up at some point during that time since I've seen so many new members from the area ever since I moved away. Just let me know if anyone is interested. Thank you, Peter

Over the next few days I'll be moving from Tulsa, OK to Williston, ND for my job. My approximate route will be taking me through Oakley, KS; Rapid City, SD; and finally Williston, ND. On my way, I was hoping to make a stop in the Niobrara chalk near Oakley and then make a visit to Mount Rushmore in Rapid city, but other than that, I haven't thought of any other good stops. So, if anyone has any good suggestions for stops ( for fossiling or otherwise) or advice on hunting the chalk, your input is greatly appreciated. I'll be trying to post the pictures from my trip on here as I go, but they will get on here eventually. Thanks again everyone, -Peter

Well with tomorrow being the fourth of July, I get a day off from work, and, I thought what better way to celebrate our countries independence than by digging around in the rocks our country was built on. Then, there is also the fact that I've made it up to the niobrara chalk area on business trips twice in the last two weeks, only to anxiously grind my teeth as we drove by, so I've been itching to get out and dig around somewhere. With all that being said, I know it's really last minute (sorry, I've been very busy lately), but I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a good day trip, within a 3 1/2 hr drive out of Wichita, or for that matter, if anyone was wanting to meet somewhere and go fossil hunting. I've already gone on the southeastern Kansas field trip on geokansas, and I don't think I'm up for the drive out to the chalk this time, but other than that, I'm up for anything in reason. So, any suggestions or any takers on the meet-up? Thanks again everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.
