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.
