Well, it all went off without a hitch. We had a wonderful opening with hundreds of people each day through. The events were well attended and I got plenty of pics. I'm tuckered out but very excited that the new building is now open to the public. If you ever make it this way, make that you drop in and check it out. Best of all, it's free of charge!

Well, looks like I missed it. Of course I had to work those days as it is. Of course, like I told you, I do get up that way fairly often now, and of course I plan to pop into the museum there sometime. Cant wait.
BTW you didn't mention Greg Perino's collection! I once "fondled" that cache of Little River blades he and his wife found....

Hope you can make it by sometime Shawn. Maybe the water will be down and we could do some hunting also. That's a helluva cache, isn't it? I've fondled it a few times myself...you can't get much higher grade of novaculite than what those are made of.

I hope you decide to put on some of your pictures for those of us that couldn't make it to the opening.
