Trip Report

 Had a good turnout for our field trip to  Tobin Wash (14 members) and the temps were good for picking although the bugs were very pesty. Most of the group went on to Mataqua Rd for some petrified wood. Good trip overall. See you all in October.

Regards, Gary

President’s Report

Welcome to our newest members Steve and Lynn Martin! Fran and I just returned from Canada and we are looking forward to our field trips this year. We had a chance to pick some Amethyst at a mine by Thunder Bay Ontario this summer. Fun to pick these crystals. Hope to bring a few to our next meeting.
