As always another great time with the club was had at the 11th Street Quarry. I am a bit late with the report, but I had the Hendersonville show to attend to. We arrived at the quarry around 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning to meet with about 25 other members who were already at the site.

New MAGMA member, Tommy Toad.

John D. and others in the lower pit.

The lower pit, the last time I was at the quarry, this pit was a lake.

The rubble that now covers one of the more promising veins of large yellow stilbite.
