My trip started Thursday morning. I arrived at the mine after setting up my camp at Elijah Clark Park. When I got there, I saw about 20-25 vehicles lined up across from Jr's booth, all with MAGMA stickers in the windows! It was a great site. I spent the afternoon setting up my sales booth while the members collected in the mine.

The first two members I saw were Gene Jeffers and Ken, it was good to see Gene again, it had been a while.

It didn't take Ken long to find one of his favorite rocks, lazulite in matrix.
