Yucaipa Valley Gem & Mineral Society is having a gem & mineral show this weekend. Some board members such as JS Gems & Stonesthatrock will be there. Link is www.yvgms.org/show.html here. We're looking forward to picking some old timer brains and buy lots of lapidary stuff. Larry

Looking forward to meeting you. You may not get inside though. Their silent auction is outside the entrance. If it is anything like it was when we lived here there will be some great deals on some great materials. Be forewarned, with everything going on at the park, parking can be a nightmare. Come earl;y, don't leave.

We're getting to leave right now. Looking forward to meeting you folks. You'll pick us out in the crowd as the couple going nuts looking at all the rocks & equipment. ![](http://www.outbackteardrop.com/rock/us.jpg) Larry & Diane Sorensen Hemet, CA

I lived in Yucaipa about 15 years. The club had rock washing/sorting events to prepare for the silent auction. They had a lot of old collections donated. The best of the best was reserved for the monthly club meeting mini silent auctions. The show auction material was better than anything I see at any of the 20-25 shows a year I do.

This show was great. We enjoyed it more than Quartzsite. It was best of the best, vendors & items displayed. We had so much fun talking with John & Susana of JS Gems and Ralph & Mary Ann of Stonesthatrock. You guys have a tough job being on the road so much. We learned a lot. Thanks for everything.
Larry & Diane

It was our first time back after a 2-3 year break. More rock dealers than before for sure. A lot of these shows turn into bead or jewelry shows.
