The semi-annual Graves Mountain Open House was a huge success! This was one of the best Open Houses's I have attended in a while. Lots of rockhounds from all over the country, college students, boy scouts, everyone was there.

The fun started on Thursday before the actual Open House. The vendors arrived to set up their booths for the weekend. Junior always invites rockhounds to come a day early if they like.

I counted at least 30 MAGMA members at the mine Thursday.

Junior added a new hand washing station at the cook area for use by the attending rockhounds.

Ron found the first rutile of the weekend.

Friday morning the crowd began to arrive.
