Honey Onyx Fieldtrip

Date Pending

Led by Byron Scott

 

I hope this is the April Fieldtrip J This is from an old newsletter, please come to the next meeting for complete details.

 

4-wheel Dr. is recommended, but there should be enough vehicles for rides to the site if you need. Camping can be done between meeting place and the turn off to the digs.

 

If you wish to go you need to get on the list. Remember last year this fieldtrip was called off due to weather conditions. If you are on the list we will call you if that happens again.
