Here is a members-only field trip opportunity this weekend: Daniel Doering is leading another field trip 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.) [33515 Mountain Loop Hwy, Granite Falls, WA 98252]
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
