Stay away from Geode Sate Park. Ames cop drowned at that place over the weekend.

Unless you have more to the story that isn't really a compelling reason to avoid the area. People are liable drown at pretty much any body of water. You need to have a healthy respect for it's power.

Cop was from Ames. Cyber is from Ames, or least he lives there. Do not tempt fate.

:eek: You are a ****ed up individual, it's alright though, you must be inbred.

Also, sorry for liking to be outside, keep on wishing you had a girlfriend/signifigant other to do stuff with while I'm having a great time digging for "smelly" (can rocks be smelly?) rocks with my girlfriend.

Not sure about rocks, but boxes most definitely can be smelly.


(what....we moved into a house and the sewer stopped working, what were you thinking?!??!??!?)

Wildcat Springs, in Hamilton, IL is right across the river from Keokuk. I go there all the time with my family to collect geodes and the place is littered with geodes despite being constantly picked over. I HAVE seen several water moccasins there over the years, though...

I second Wildcat Springs in Hamilton, IL. There is a creek on the road to Warsaw, IL that I have found some geodes at also.

You may want to think about digging around in someone's gravel driveway for fossils after the big geode hunt, that's sure to get her hot and bothered.

What % of this conversation has anything to do with geodes? (the rock)

About 2%, I get banned for doing something like this in other peoples threads, but when people do this in my threads they are just fine. Even hawk fans in my threads don't get banned.
