Well, Tucson is happening and Jim and I are pleased to be heading that way soon. Bad weather is coming to Texas in the form of an ice storm so we are delaying our departure. Need to be sure our outside livestock will have water since temps are going down to low teens for over 60 hours.
No way am I driving in that either!
But we’ll get there!
Been laying out displays and packing them.
This report is dedicated to my Mining Minions. A group of awesome ladies whom I taking digging all across the USA. Their joy is my favorite reward.
And to Peter Lyckberg whom I adore and is in ICU. We are thinking of you Peter!!!

My mining minions are learning about minerals in a rapid way. All of them have cases with self collected AND purchased pieces. A few are coming for their first Tucson!

Hi Gail and Jim - wow, what a big job! Thanks so much for posting the photos.
Really sorry to learn that Peter is in ICU - is this Covid related? I do hope he is soon making a good recovery.
Nice to see a few 'Brits' in the candidate exhibits - hope some of them made the final cut!
Talking of British specimens do please mention the Russell book project to anyone who might be interested, (see James Catmur's post a couple of weeks back)
http://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=6571
Have a great trip. we're looking forward to seeing more reports and photos!
Best wishes
Roy
