The club relies upon volunteer “Wagonmasters” to schedule trips to collecting sites.\u00a0Interested club members meet at a designated location and may carpool to the\u00a0collection site.\u00a0 Some of these sites are open\u00a0on an “appointment only”\u00a0 basis, so this is a fantastic resource for our members.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Check the\u00a0current conditions page<\/a>\u00a0to see the latest information available about specific collecting sites you want to visit. Submit any current conditions that you have to the webmaster via the club’s email address or at a meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Mineral Council offers field trips. Go to the\u00a0Mineral Council web site for the most current information.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
