Aug 11th, 2018 Salmon Creek Field Trip Report

Field trip reports

Excellent trip to Salmon Creek today. We had 17 people in 6 vehicles. A couple of short rain showers, but mostly a nice day. Water level was low, so we could access much of the gravel bed and everyone turned up some nice agates. A lot of red jasper too. And a few pieces of petrified wood.

After meeting at the Shell Station exit 63 (Hwy 505) , we drove about 8 miles through Toledo and on to Salmon Creek.
