Los Pescadores sponsor Russell Weir points out the destinations for upcoming excursions. os Pe cadores Comb Cliffs, Discover Relic , Rare Rocks Hiking, fishing trips and service proj- ects compose the agenda of Los Pes- cadores. A growing interest in the club has encouraged a larger membership. In- stead of collecting dues, the members share the expenses of their ventures. Early in the year, the club traveled to Trenchcamp where the surroundings were investigated: numerous artifacts were found by members of Los Pes- cadores. Many of their destinations are reached by car and explored on foot. Happy Valley was the destination for a later group outing. The members of the exploring party hiked through the area and discovered several unique rocks. In addition to hiking and exploring trips, the club planned several fishing excursions to lakes in Arizona. Club meetings are highlighted with films on conservation and wildlife when a trip or service project is not being planned. Wu. 2 'S The Los Pescadores officers, Karl Armstead.
