The East Coast outings are under way with over 200 GPAA and LDMA members gathering at Loud Mine, Georgia last week! 

During the winter months, the most popular LDMA destination is Stanton, Arizona. While many properties battle snow, rain and cold, Stanton enjoys relatively mild, sunny days and enough modern conveniences to attract LDMA members from all across the nation.

May is the busiest month of the year for outings at LDMA camp sites. Three events are scheduled during this time, so make reservations now.

Portions of the Lost Dutchman's Mining Association campground in Stanton, Ariz., are being closed until further notice.

It was standing-room only at the Stanton Opera House during Tuesday's camp meeting at the annual Rendezvous outing in Arizona.

The final outing for 2009 took place at our camp in the Arizona desert, the famous ghost town of Stanton. The Stanton New Year's outing has become a favorite for many of the members over the years.

The 2009 Duisenburg outing gave us some great weather. It was a little cool at night with some reports of scattered ice in the camp in the mornings, but by 9 a.m., it was back to short sleeves.

The 2009 Italian Bar outing brought us some of the most beautiful weather we have seen at an outing this year.
