On Saturday, July 29, Bob and Barbara Fenner will lead us to a ranch on Highway 191 north of Interstate 10 to collect what we are calling Chinese Picture rocks. When sliced, these rocks reveal a pattern of light-colored flecks on a dark background. The flecks resemble Chinese writing if you have a good imagination. The pattern is actually very attractive. Your editor will volunteer to slab your rocks for you if you don’t want to slab them yourself. Meet at 8 am at the Safeway parking lot in Willcox. We will leave at 8:15.
Barbara, Bob, and Irvin discuss what they found
Carol and Angie (with rock)
John and granddaughter
Rusty Fenner, the rock hound
Lucy and Beth discuss lithic artifacts
