Hey Parker,
How much is Bruce paying for the "Quality Stuff"? Is it worth the drive over to pick up supplies etc? I have never visited them so might be worth the trip just on that account.

$2 a pound- Was definatly worth making it,,Ray- the felllow helping gather this year kept saying "Your really going to boil that?, lets just dump it" and I was saying,,,Its all by the pound at this point,,,,,
