Hello ‘Hounds,
I have a message from our President, Candi Gerard:
We will be making another trip to the Rockhound Sale in North Whatcom County on Saturday, June 22nd at 10 am. Please RSVP to Candi at 360-366-0121, as the number of attendees is limited.
For those who RSVP, meet at the Gerard’s (1371 Paradise Rd, Ferndale, WA 98248) on Saturday at 10 am to carpool/ convoy to the location.

Daniel Doering is leading another field trip the same day, this Saturday, June 22nd on Bailey Trail to source Rainbow Chert. To participate, meet at the Verlot ranger station at 9 am to convoy to the dig (~90 minute commute.)
Bring a chisel, small crowbar, crack hammer, rock hammer. Gloves, buckets, eye protection, etc.
(If anyone has a large sledge hammer, that would be useful as well.)
This is hard rock mining, but there is a lot of material to collect just off the road as well, so all skill levels are welcome to attend!
For more information, contact Daniel directly at: 360-319-4722
Warmly,
Trevor Duncan
club secretary
