After you pass the "tank farm" in Montvale but before you hit the Rt. 220 cut off to I-81 at Cloverdale, you will see the new quarry main entrance on your right (north side) Do not go to the scale house.  Go to the next road and we will meet at the new white block shop and lunchroom building on the ground floor.  From Roanoke, the Quarry entrance will be on your left on the county line just a few hundred feet past the Blue Ridge Minute Market on US 460 east.</p> <p><strong>EQUIPMENT: </strong>Standard quarry gear is required. Hardhat, steel toed boots and safety glasses. wear long pants and bring gloves.  Also bring your collecting gear such as hammers, chisels, collecting bags or buckets and paper to wrap your finds.  It may be cold, hot or wet in the pit so dress accordingly for the weather that day.  Bring something to eat and lots of water to drink. Also a camera as the geology is fantastic 500 feet down.  We will be able to drive into the quarry.</p> <p><strong>Coordinates:</strong> 37°23'37"N , 79°47'57"W</p> <p>Operated by Boxley Materials Company - <a href="http://www.boxley.com/locations/map.html" target="_blank">http://www.boxley.com/locations/map.html</a></p></p><p><a href="http://www.mindat.org/loc-103041.html">http://www.mindat.org/loc-103041.html</a></p>#Style-79.7936070.,37.3935140Dave Woolley's Home
