Our second M.A.G.M.A. trip of the 2008 season ended with great success for many of the members who attended. It was still a bit cold in the morning when I arrived with the machine, but it quickly warmed up. Thomas jumped on it and began digging as soon as it was unloaded.

I got this shot of the "Corundum King" Nick, slumming at an emerald mine.
