Our pinecone hunt is Sunday, September 16th this year – remember, you must be a club member, or a member of an affiliated club (Rocky Mountain Federation of Mineralogical Societies member club) to be covered by our insurance. We will meet at the park on Hwy 6 going south out of Mandan. Be there before 9:00 AM as we leave at 9 sharp. The park is easy to find, it is just south of Mandan Municipal Golf Course on the west side (right hand side going south) of the road. If you go over the Heart River, you went one driveway too far. Hope to see you there.
