The ones I really need are the remaining blue states. The other ones are either in the mail or waiting for the snow to melt or rain to drain in their AOs I guess.

And I finally have some rubble from Die Vaterland coming.

I've got a friend from Rhode Island I'll contact and pass along your info.

He's a crusty old MP and likes these types of things. I'll see who else in my network of friends can get the few remaining states.

Love the idea.

Thanks! I don't have many contacts in those teeny eastern states.

Utah Bob,
Are you looking for dirt from every single state? If so, I noticed you don't have Texas yet and I'll be there towards the end of this month. I can pick some dirt up and bring it back to CO, just let me know how much you'd like and any other details. Hope I can be of service.

I have a commitment from Texas but it hasn't been shipped yet. I'll let you know if it falls through. Details on how much and where to send are on the webpage.
Thanks.

New pics posted.
The grand unveiling will be at the post meeting on Thursday. I'll continue to add dirt as it is received. It should be 100% finished by our district meeting in April.
A big hand salute to those individuals who have helped out.
