When the Lordsburg, New Mexico chamber of commerce
withdrew it's support of the "Rockamania" rockhounding event which they
organized and ran during the month of February, a deciated group of mineral
and rock collectors decided to continue to meet back in Lordsburg to carry
on the tradition of "Rockamania". A new club was formed; the Roving
Rockhounds, to conduct two weeks of field trips in southern New Mexico
and eastern Arizona during the weeks following the Tucson Gem and Mineral
shows. The club also conducts additional weeks of field trips in
other parts of the country led by one of it's members to collecting locations
in and around their home localities. |
