This will be a trip to remember for many members of MAGMA.  Many very nice purple crystals were found.  The weather cooperated with no rain and the heat and humidity was not an issue.

It was another great trip to the Reel and I'm already wanting to go back.

Ray really hit a grand pocket, filling two 5 gallon buckets with amethyst.  I'm sure he drove with a smile all the way back to Florida.

Ray looks like one content and happy camper allright!
It's nice to see pics of the place, thanks Scott.
They did a good job "potting" the FMC Link-Belt. A little
wisteria and morning glories would finish it off nicely. Smiley
I'm glad to see the Ohioan xtldigger made it down to supervise. Wink
It's nice to see the trench opened up. Looks like there's plenty
of good spots to dig at!
