Hampton Butte Clean Up. We will once again join up with the Oregon Council and the BLM to help fill in holes left by rockhounds at Hampton Butte. If we are good stewards of public lands they will stay public. Many Rock hounds at Hampton Butte do not fill their dig holes in. Spend the day with us cleaning up the area and keeping this fabulous spot open for all rockhounds.
