Presidents letter, continued
Amazing how much yellow gold Ive seen come out ofthe ground this month folks! I've never seen so manypeople in one hole at one time, but of course, this is noordinary hole in the ground.Our New Member outing thismonth produced a lot of interest and unearthed a
tremendous amount of precious metals. On Saturday the11th of September 38 people worked in shifts and onteams throughout the day. On Sunday our numbersdiminished slightly to a roaring earth moving 22, makingthe pit a little more navigable. Many of the peopleinvolved helped me with the reclamation efforts that theysaw me struggling with on the previous day. My gratitudeto those who so graciously took time out of their playtimeto do so.
Bob Butler: From Buena Vista who sogenerously donated his equipment and
knowledge for the weekend for our newmembers to use.
Jerry Belver: From Breckenridge, who came
out to help and setup for the weekend.RonNovak: From La Veta, drove all that way to
help setup and break down.Oscar Warner: From the Western Slope, also
volunteered his equipment to our members forthe weekend
JoeAldridge: From Arkansas, who helped incoordinating the event and helped everyone,member and nonmember alike, in showing
where the outing was and how to get involved. The Denver Gem and Mineral show was a lot of
fun and my heart felt thanks to all who volunteered andmade the show a relaxing and pleasurable experience.
We made some very good friends and relationships thisyear and even had a group from our club after the showvolunteer in helping the show committee in
disassembling and packing the display cases in cratesand stacking them on pallets for transport. They fed us
dinner and then we helped some senior citizen vendorspack-up their store to help them on their way.
Nevertheless we have sparked an interest in many otherclubs as to how we have so many willing volunteers thatseem to enjoy thesesort of activities. The topic of our
outings came up and the invites weoffer to other cubsfor joint ventures to different claims for various minerals
in Colorado. Not that everyone in our organization has aliking for raw gems, jewels and thousands of other
minerals that riddle our majestic mountain state but itgives us a chance to learn from knowledgeable
geologists and mineralogist's how our once volcanic andoceanic home has come to be what it is today.
Our New Member Outing, perhaps my last as
President if someone else volunteers and is voted in, isgoing to be at Prospector1 and 2 on the Arkansas River
North of Howard, Colorado. Here we will expect to seeour last outing of the season and unfortunately I
mistakenly announced in our last meeting that we wouldhave equipment there to run, but the motorized seasonends on September 30th. We will be learning how to use
long toms and rocker boxes as well as fine tuning oursluicing and panning techniques. Circulatory and electric
devices are welcome and volunteers are needed to dodemonstrations with those units during the non-
motorized season.
Thank you to everyone who has made this asuccessful year. It has been a pleasure and honor to
have served you during the procession of our calendarof events. Good prospecting to you and we will see you
out there on the mineral trail and in the gold belt.
Sincerely, Big Ben

Reportedly, we will be able to collect baculites, ammonites, belemnites, and "clams". Theproperty owner reserves the right to keep any find or release it for compensation.
A PU or 4WD vehicle is required. We will be traveling some distance on dirt roads. Ifthey are wet, the FT may need to be postponed.
No special limitations, but not recommended for anyone requiring assistance in walking.The weather could be hot at this time of the year.
PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR (SAFETY GLASSES) and Sun Screen are stronglyrecommended.. Removal of fossils can require, chisels, hammers, crowbars, picks andshovels. Some fossils may require a rock hammer, smaller chisels, brushes and of
course wrapping material. In addition to wearing long heavy duty pants, it isrecommended that you bring: a hat, work gloves, knee pads, collecting container, andboxes for storage and to prevent damaging of specimens in transit.
The area is quite remote and we will not be in proximity of water or sanitary facilities afterwe leave the rest area. The nearest commercial facilities are in Trinidad, LaJunta, orWalsenburg, Colorado.
It can (and probably will) be hot even in October. Make sure you bring adequate liquids.Sun screen is strongly recommended. Layered clothes work well as it warms during theday.
