caretaker in charge of Graves Mountain, Junior Norman, to invite all of
the member clubs of the DMC to a three day dig and rock swap on
the Mountain during May 13-14-15, 2005. He will have the mountain
open to collecting from 8 am to 6 pm each day. All participants
must stop at the welcome tent to sign a liability release form and make
a small contribution to defray the cost of opening the mountain and
providing port-o-lets. There will be several golf cart
type vehicles available to transport those participants who have
trouble walking long distances. The dig will cease and everyone
is expected to be off the mountain by around 6 pm each day.
Participants will be allowed to park in a designated area on the
mountain.
Rock Swap and Hot Food/Drinks:
Junior will set aside an area in the parking lot for tables to be setup for a daily rock swap. Anyone who would like to setup a table(s), please contact Junior at the phone numbers listed below. Hot food cooked on the grill or BBQ will be available for purchase on the mountain during Saturday, May 14, 2005. Cold drinks will also be available for purchase. THIS
DIG IS OPEN TO ALL SFMS CLUBS.
