DMC Field Trip
Mobile Rock and Gem Society
Sunday, June 7, 2015
Despite an initial scheduling hiccup, the June DMC field trip was well attended. Rockhounds from around the Southeast came to collect the beautiful lace agate there. Having been there many times ourselves, Charles and I mostly visited people and offered advice.
The Mobile Rock and Gem Society had a couple of tents up so people could stop by for a cold drink and donuts and relax in the shade. Everyone seemed to be finding plenty of material and having a good time.
Many thanks to the Mobile club for setting up a great trip as well as the Southeast Federation DMC program for making trips like this possible.

Is that hole really that deep? No, he's just looking at some rocks.
