i guess everyone has either left already , or your all trying to rest up before the dig lol , well we have the truck loaded and were leaving out sometime in the morning . when you see the biggest red truck pull up come say hello , thats jerry n trish lol

This may be an obvious question that has been overlooked by myself but what time does digging start? I'm getting up real early sunday and I didn't see anywhere what time the digging will begin, or when people will start arriving.

I believe that richard is opening up 6:30ish

We are all gathering at the BARN - Then driving in to the dig the back way

We will be camping out Sat - We are arriving early sat afternoon for some Sat evening get to gether with any of the campers 8) HINT HINT!!!

See you bright and early!!

lol tucker you are as bad as i am , i went a did the redneck thing and drew my own map , then i saw the link a few min ago to print a map out , sure hope im more observant when it comes to digging , michelle check your email , it has my cell number to call me while were on our way down if anything drastic happens and the dig is , ill say no more , taboo lol

email the nukmber again .. I didn't get it in email

ok sent it agin , check your windows mail . sent it there , not yahoo mail

Is there any extra cost to camp? If not I might be there around 7 or 8, is that too late?

No charge campin

Nighty Night!

BRING DRY FIRE WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jerry, any writting on the doors or other identifying lights or hardware, in case a few
other similar red trucks show up ?

Official sunup is 0729. Official, in the hole, start of digging is 0730. IF we convoy to the site on the hard surface road, plan to leave the garage area at
0700. I think Richard said they would have the front gate checkin operating from 0600 but there is plenty of space to hangout around the garage area for early birds.

Free camping. Some guests arrive Saturday morn, pay the 20 bucks to dig and explore any area
except the vicinity of the special Sunday event.

Last year quite a few people came back on Monday.

Wait wait wait - first. We are super excited.

Second- so we can show up today and start exploring/digging - just not in the area for 20 bucks each?

Third - who wants to adopt a young couple for their first dig? we typically are rock honders)

We just need someone to show us the ropes - maybe point us towards a good area. I know, much like fishermen, rock hounders keep their honey holes secret.

There is a 1/2 day (6hr0 rate for any other day than "The Fest" .. So if you come in Sat, you can surface hunt or dig at any of the other camps. The came that we are on for DIGFEST isn;t open to digging untill SUnday.
