Rock Hunting Field Trip
text and photos byLes Oxford

Several BCSS member met at Towerline Road for a trip towards the Mojave Desert to collect big boulders and small rocks for the CSUB Cactus Gardens. Everybody filled their pick-ups and cars with all sizes of rocks. We had buckets and two wheelers to transport the rocks from the field to the cars. On the way back, we visited the Mojave Cactus Nursery and brought back several plants. Everybody then met at CSUB Cactus Garden to deliver the rocks. It was a great sunny day for finding all sizes of rocks. The Cactus Club will schedule another field trip for more rocks in the future. Look for dates in the newsletter
