This years Roundup was a huge success. It was absolutely the best one yet and it will be very hard to beat! But somehow, I have a feeling that may happen. We are making new friends every day with our club and more and more people are getting involved with what we do. We visited more mines, found great specimens, met many new friends, members who have been in the club for a long time from other states finally got to join us on some digs. Every day was a great dig and every night was filled with the best of friends, fun, music, and laughter. As always, I hated to see it end, and i'm already planning for next years event, until then, i'll see you on a dig somewhere........
