Field Trips
San Luis Obispo Botanic Garden
Let's try to decide at the meeting if we want to go to SLO in early December or in 2007.
Rose Quartz
September 30th Jack & Sidney Kelley led members of BCSS & the Rock & Mineral Club on a field trip to Greenhorn Mountain and beyond, in search of rose quartz. It was a beautiful early autumn day along the gravel roads of the Southern Sierra. Some shrubs changing to yellow added to the scenery. The Kelleys had to take a detour to Kernville for an auto part, so their outing was a little further than the rest of ours.
Mary Carrisalez & friends, Linda Cooley, Bill & Lynn McDonald were among the rock hounds. The quartz is very hard & so several of us satisfied our needs by selecting stones from the ground. We saw a few deer who had thus far eluded the many hunters. There were quite a few elderberries ripe & we picked a few of those as well.
Thank you Sidney & Jack.
