Braceville Field Trip Report

There was great weather on the weekend of May 21st and 22nd.  Quite a few people showed up and everyone collected concretions.  Some lucky ones found artefacts from the mining days.   Here is a movie of the approach to the spoil pile.  The hill has shrunk quite a bit in the last few years.

 

There were new friends and old.
