Field Trip Report:
Second Annual Western North Carolina
Rockhound Roundup!
August 4-5-6-7, 2005
We started off Friday with a trip to the Sinkhole Mine in Mitchell County. We loaded a group in Maggie and off we went.
After a couple of hours collecting there, we loaded up and headed to the Ray Mine.
On the way up the mountain, I stopped to try and recruit a couple of new members for the club.
Charles in the creek at the Ray.
Pat in the creek.
Ron and Anna Denton working the creek. Ron found a nice large aquamarine in matrix which I forgot to get a pic of.
Ron Helms and Ed Wagner.
Karen Lawrence
Amy Harrington and Jenny Hanson. Amy is also a new M.A.G.M.A. member from Asheville.
