Field Trip Report:

Second Annual Western North Carolina
Rockhound Roundup!
August 4-5-6-7, 2005

I finally made it to bed around 1:00 Sunday morning. The rest were still hanging by the fire when I left. Sunday morning some began to pack up and head for home. Some went rockhounding at various sites and a few of us headed to the Grassy Creek show in Spruce Pine for those last minute deals. It was sad to see everyone go, but we made a lot of memories that will last a lifetime and we have many more Roundups coming in the following years.

Me and John D. Sunday morning.

Pat says it's to early to be up.

Thanks to all the club members who helped to make this Roundup another huge success. I am already planning next years event, until then, happy rockhounding!
