2017 Program: Rockhounding in the
U.S.A.
Presented by: Bob & Maxine Dearborn
Traveling the United States can be a lot of fun and
collecting rocks along the way can make it an even better vacation. Members Bob
& Maxine Dearborn will take us on a journey to many states collecting
rocks, fossils and more. They will show us what the collecting sites look like
via videos & pictures and will describe what can be found at these
locations. They will also have samples of material collected from these many different
locales.
Come and join us for a fun and informative presentation
from our very own Bob & Maxine Dearborn!
