November Field Trips
by Richard Sprowls
November 25 -27: Owens Valley AreaTiny aquamarines, amazonite, garnets, epid0tesprays, stibirte and quartz crystalsLeaders: Joe Goetz and Robert Burson
Thanksgiving is about family and friends sharinga big meal of roast turkey and fixings. For a rockhoundit could mean an extended trip farther out than whatis normally done. The field trip will be November23-26 with Sunday the 27th for going home. Thedaily meeting place will be determined on where thelocations are that we will be going for the day.
In this case it’s the Owen’s Valley and all thevarious things that could be found. I talked to amember of the Lone Pine Club and he said all theclassic collecting sites are open with a few changes.In the Tungsten Hills some of the roads have beenclosed. No way of knowing which are closed untilwe go, it’s possible where we go may not be affected.
I was told that Union Wash is open, however itseems commercial dealers have gone in and reallymessed up the upper collecting area. We should stillbe able to find ammonites, but we may just have towork a little harder to find them.
In the Crystal Ridge quartz area the samepeople may have gone in and done some microblasting of the crystal area to the south of where wehave gone before. There is a danger of unexplodedcharges so we’ll have to be careful as two membersof the Lone Pine club were injured by these charges.
Some of the campgrounds available are DiazLake Camp and Glacier View Campground. Diaz
Lake Camp is 3 miles south of Lone Pine @ 5007 S.Main, Lone Pine. They have fire rings, tables, flushtoilets a few water hook ups but no showers noelectrical hookups. The fee is $14/vehicle/night. InyoCo. Parks and Rec. number is 760-873-5564.
Glacier View Campground is 1/2 mi north of BigPine. They have showers, electrical hookups andcampsites for larger RV’s. No dump station available.
For reservations call 760-872-6911. For motelspick a town and possibly look at the AAA book forrating and phone numbers. I would suggest pickingperhaps Independence or Big Pine since they aremore to the center of the valley, thus shortening thedrive either north or south to collecting areas.

Map To 2016 NOCGMS Dinner & Instalation Of Officers
Quarter Maina Workers
8 News - November 2016
HELLO to all our NOCGMS members.
What can I say??? This was a great event. The turnoutwas a bit light, I was hoping for a better turnout fromour members but we still did a great job. We broughtin almost 1,300.00 dollars and that is after we paidthe printing and the church and other small stuff likeplates napkins sodas, and yes i t was a lot of work.To do any event to raise money is never a cake walkbut many hands makes lighter work.
I would l ike to take a moment to give a specialshout out to people who, for the last few days beforethe QUA RTER M ANIA , worked day and night tohelp pull al l this together. Jann Cohen, A lan Heuer,Teri Heuer, Her Beautiful sister Sheri, A rmandoPedroza, Rose Pedroza, M att Pedroza, CathyHouwen, Trisha from the La Habra M ethodistChurch, and the La Habra M ethodist Church, andlast but not least my husband Kevin Smith. It took allthese people to pull this event together. This was aspecial event that had the opportunity to be evengrander. But i t takes a lot of people to make thishappen. I t takes a team l i ke the NOCGM SCHA RTER. We have more events on the way andhere is hoping that more members will chip in andmake these events the best that they can be.

Thereis no telling what you will find at this auction. Therewill be tons of stuff to bid on not only rocks, mineralsor jewelry, but many other items will be put up forauction. Now how can you help you ask? We needdonations. And we would like to see items that ourmembers have made, that’s right bracelets, necklaces,
cabochons, faceted gem stones, slabs, geodes. Andmaybe a few items in new in the box stuff. This project is benefiting all the NOCGMSmembers. In case you did not know the money raisedis for our Christmas dinner. The more we make theless everyone will have to pay, and that can be veryhuge. So look for those donations that you wouldlike to donate. Talk to your family, friends, neighbors, anyone youcan. The more donations we get the more we make.Please remember that we need clean, nice items tosell.THANK YOU AGAINBeth SmithFundraiser Chair
