APRIL FIELD TRIP
What started out as a cloudy day soon changed into sunshine and warmth. Even the water in the stream seemed warm for this time of year. An early count of attendees was about 27. Several more people arrived throughout the day and I estimate we had 35 – 40 people altogether. There were plenty of rocks, potentially holding quartz crystals inside, waiting to be found.
