What do these have in common? Orcutt, La Brea Tar Pits and Nipomo

100 years ago William Orcutt, a geologist, was a pioneer in the California oil industry.  He also was a paleontologist, who brought the now famous La Brea Tar Pits to light.  Our hosting club, here at the gem and mineral show at Nippon, is named for him.

Today is our last day at Nipomo  High School for the Orcutt Gem and Mineral Show.  This year was their 49th and best.  I wonder what is in store for their 50th next year!
