"I am in Columbus Ohio playing with twin grand daugthers, Billie and I stopped at Flint Ridge and meet with the well known napper, Roy Miller. (see Ohio - National Directory) Did we everget into great cutting material. Top grade , multi colored, banded flint. I will post some pictures, we plan on hitting the flourite mines in Illinios and Kentucky or the agates beds. Having a great time chasing grand girls.

"We made it back safe. I wanted to hit Flint Ridge for the famous Ohio flint. The flint was traded by native Americans across the Midwest and even found it way into the plains tribes. The flint is glassy and shells out conchoidal slabs. The State of Ohio has a park that features Native America craftsmanship. We hit three site each with a different flint. The first sight had flint that looked like Biggs jasper. The second sight was Roy Millers mine where we collected to our hearts content, The third sight was on Flint Ridge Road at the Nethers farm. We hit Hocking Hills State park and stayed a Cedar Falls Inn. Great place, great food and real beauty.
Of course the two twin grand babies was the main attraction. All in all we had a wonderful time. I posted some pictures.

"Glad you had a safe trip Bill.
You are right about them grandkids. No matter how many you have they are all special. And chasing them around is a real work out,,lol.
That flint you gathered and the pics you posted look awesome.

"The bigger the game the bigger the projectile points.Certainly not intended to discount your thoughts Tom.
Mr Millers knapping is masterful and that flint material is yummy. Would have loved to have been there with you. Sounds like a GRAND adventure.
