This is where I got my start with cabbing and rock education. I was an active member for about 4 years. Recently, I have been to busy with other things, and financially unable to continue. When things turn around, I will rejoin.

Anyway, here are some pics of finds from the field trips to the rock-pile, the old club site, and the annual show. A few duplicate pics with other sets, but mostly new pics.

Enjoy,

looks like a lot of fun. I'd like to join a group, but the disadvantage of living in a sparsely populated area a is that every club I could join is too far away. (its one of the best things about living here in many other ways though). Looks like a great, active club!

Amen to that! The combined knowledge to be had in this forum is a force to be reckoned with. I believe the folks on this board have taught me more this past year than I would have gained through any other single source. Far more than any seminar or class I could have taken. (Thank you RTH). stephan, keep posting . I am surely enjoying the beautiful things you are showing us.
