Hey everyone, I went to the Turlock Gem and Mineral show this weekend and had a good time. Lot's of verdors but mostly the same stuff as usual. I did find one verdor who had a couple of trays of Vanadinite from Morroco. Good prices so I got six really nice one's. Of course the trip would not be the same without including my rock collecting excursions to the Mariposa, CA area. Collected a lot of quartz again [can't seem to stay away from that quartz, it's my favorite] and also found a nice outcropping of Serpentine so I collected some of that also. I followed that up with a trip to my area I used to live at in Winton, CA. The landlord explained she was going to re-do my old yard and wanted me to take all I could of plant's and rock's I had left when I moved. So I packed my car up and hoped I would not end up dragging my rearend all the way home with the added weight. Needless to say I took it a little slower! All in all it was a great trip. Hope all had a good weekend. Ed M.

Sounds like it was a great weekend, Ed. Any chance of photos of the materials you picked up? Paul

I took some pictures with my new smart phone. It takes better pics than my camera! I'll see what I can do about the pics. Thank's
