i will be in north carolina for work next week, and am getting down there early sat morning to give myself the weekend and part of monday for shelling and sightseeing. i havent collected there for years and am looking for any suggestions where to go esp. in summer- i will have a rental car and am never averse to meeting up with anybody. my preference is the beaufort/morehead city area, where i formerly had occasional modest success, and where its most convenient to drive from/back to Raleigh. outerbanks/ocracoke are too far for the amount of time, i think...but you never know. please feel free to contact me offlist,and/ or to post potentially good sites online thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
