Hi Jadie,

 

I live in PA (SW suburbs of Pittsburgh.) I know there is some book out that

actually is a guide to rock hounding locations in PA but I do not recall the

title and I am not finding it listed on amazon. I had seen it a while back in

my local Borders.

 

You might take a look at these books if you can find it in your local

Border's or B & N. It might give you places to look in there:

This one might be the one I was thinking of:

I call it ARS for short ;-) and a trip up there always includes stopping at

the log cabin inn for lunch. Tom and Leslie are good people, very personable

and friendly. I usually go with one of my girlfriends when I hit ARS and then

we stop for lunch. I was up there about 3 weeks ago. I had not been there in

almost 3 years due to lack of time and money at the same time. I got 2

strands (different shapes) of lava rock beads, a pair of moss agate earrings

and a

couple of Himalayan salt tea lamps that are *ginger jar* shaped for flanking

the Eye of Horus urn that Tanzerin's (our much loved and missed dog of 14

years who passed in her sleep over the night/morn of Oct 31/Nov 1st.

 

I am looking forward to going up there again in a few weeks to see what new

goodies have arrived from the Tucson show. At any rate I am about an hour

south-eastish of Zieli and ARS. I think it is 55 miles from my home. Are you

familiar with Monroeville at all? I am very close to there.

 

What direction from and how far are you from ARS?

 

Blessings to your eve all.

They have shops set up in Malls through western PA at least. Some are

perminent shops and some are seasonal (around Xmas holiday). I don't know if

they

still offer visits to their warehouse or not but you could always email them

and ask. I had always hoped to get to go to their warehouse. It would be

awesome!

 

Blessings to your weekend all.
