Auspex Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I would love to go but how does someone get a date to go? Here's some info, from elasmo.com: January 8, 2009 Spring Season Curtis Ormond of PCS Public Affairs wrote: Just received official word on the Spring Season; I will start accepting requests on January 15 at midnight. We will make every attempt to include the folks that got canceled in the fall; plans are to bring them in first. They are working on building a new ramp and we will train our guides and helpers next month. We hope the season is good for everyone and appreciate your understanding when we had to stop last fall. Curtis will take email requests only. Please contact him at cormond@pcsphosphate.com to reserve a date for your group. The same rules as in previous seasons will apply: Steel-toed footwear and hard hats are required. All visitors must be 18+, show a photo ID and sign a Waiver of Liability Release. Shorts and sleeveless shirts are not allowed and plenty of water needed. Collectors will meet at (7:00 am) the parking lot across from the PCS Main Gate (from Highway 33 in Aurora, NC take Highway 306 N. for 6 miles).

Fat Boy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah, I noticed that. I wonder if they allow horse trading of these slots... Is there an advantage of going earlier in the season? Or, is it like the places where we collect where on any given day it can be good? Kevin Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an advantage of going earlier in the season? Or, is it like the places where we collect where on any given day it can be good? well here is the thing, some people think that going earlier is better others dont, everyone wants to be the first one in the mind and find a tooth just sitting there, but weather plays a big role and also luck, something may look like a rock to one person and the next person it may look like a root lobe to a 6" meg. Im just happy that I will be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ...I wonder if they allow horse trading of these slots... You could get a pretty penny for it on Ebay.

Hope to hear soon or I'll now start panicking. I feel your pain NAL. I got cancelled in the Fall as well. I didn't get to apply for a slot until Jan 20 (computer issues) and on top of that my email has changed since the fall. When I sent my email, I let Curtis know what my old email was and that it had changed and that I was one of the ones who got cancelled, but combined with being late with the request, it has really got me nervous.
