Hi! Below is my spring 2016 rockhunt schedule. You’ll find that it looks quite different from last year’s spring schedule. This is because I’m trying to concentrate on the big events: there’s a special Walker Ranch hunt in February, Spring Break in March, and the Big Bend Agate Roundup in April.
But just because I don’t have something scheduled doesn’t mean that it can’t happen. I should still have some time available to schedule special rockhunts for your vacation dates, especially if you let me know early.
The special February Walker Ranch rockhunt is three days long, and I’ve surrounded it with hunts to the other ranches. In March, I’ve organized the two weeks that Texas kids have for spring break to alternate between half-day hunts meant for kids and new rockhounds, and full-day hunts at the Singleton, South Larremore, and East Needle Peak sites. And the Big Bend Agate Roundup in April is more than two weeks long, and organized so the Singleton Ranch hunts and the Walker Ranch hunts are right next to each other, as several people had requested.
The sooner you let me know of your intention to go on a hunt or hunts, the better. Even if your plans are tentative, I would like to know. There is no penalty on any of the ranches for having to change your plans, even on the day of the hunt. But if a hunt doesn’t have anyone signed up for it a week before it is to happen, I’ll cancel it, and probably make other plans for that day (I have several other projects going on this spring…)
Regards,
Teri
