We had a fun, wet week at this years roundup. But, that didn't stop our members from visiting many mines and finding some cool rocks!

Crabtree Emerald Mine, Little Pine Mine, Chunky Gal and Cateye Cut, Gap Creek, Abernathy Mine, Sinkhole Mine and Franklin's many shows. Fun was had by all.

We started off the week watching this super cool video with this awesome rockhound starring in it!
