SAVE THE DATES 

Hi Members 

The 2025 season is shaping up to be a busy one. We exclusive access to 8 new sites and have been invited to several local prospectors' claims.

Keep returning to this site as new trips will undoubtedly be added and pictures of our finds will be posted.

Several of the trips are very accessible , physically. Rockhounds and pebble pups welcome! Looking forward to exploring our beautiful area together. Note: Some dates or events may change due to weather, fire hazards or claim host availability.
