Mineralogical Society of Arizona is invited to attend trip with our friends at the Daisy Mountain Rock and Mineral Club and trip will be lead by Bill Freese.

Please contact Bill DIRECTLY to RSVP 602-568-6843.

We are going to DoBell Ranch in Holbrook, AZ on SUNDAY, JANUARY 21st, 2024. This is a great trip to pick up some very nice pieces of petrified wood. Everything from jewelry size pieces to several hundred pounds is available at a very inexpensive rate. (normally, I fill up a 5-gallon bucket for about $45) Rhonda DoBell and her family make sure everyone finds what they want and leaves happy. She will probably have lunch for us as well, usually burgers, hot dogs and stuff.

We are going to meet at Jim Gray's Petrified Wood Shop at the corner of Navajo Blvd. and US-180 at 9:45 AM and then leave as soon as everyone on the list is accounted for. The coordinates for Jim Gray's are: 34.890538, -110.159633

BE READY TO GO WITH PLENTY OF GAS AND PIT STOPS TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE HAND.

There are multiple ways to go but the simplest is to take I-17 north to Flagstaff and then follow I-40 east to Holbrook and take exit 286, Navajo Blvd. Once you exit, follow Navajo Blvd south for about 1.5 miles and you will see the turn for US-180 and Jim Gray's shop on the corner. This is a long drive, about 3 hours, so bring some friends.

The trip down to DoBell Ranch is a straight shot about 16 miles across US-180. Any vehicle can make this trip without issue.

I will be inviting some other clubs to add to the fun, so make sure you wear your badge.

Let me know if you want to go and include your cell number for last minute changes.
