April 24th 2022 Field Trip To Fir Road by Pasco (Carnelian agate)

Past Field Trips

On April 24th 2022, we will be going to Fir Road by Pasco for Carnelian agate.  This is a new site for us.  I still need to do a check out.

The idea here is to make a full weekend trip into central WA, Saturday being spent at Saddle Mtn and then spending the night in either Yakima or the Tri Cities and then on Sunday making a stop along the Columbia River near Pasco.
I’ll provide more details at the beginning of April and if you only want to join us on Sunday, I’ll provide a time and meeting place.

Meeting Announcements

  • Come one, come all and play ROCK BINGO! With schools out for many local school districts, we invite members, guests, and especially families and kids to come and enjoy one of our most fun nights of the year. Everyone is guaranteed to win at this FREE event! All you have to do is bring three wrapped presents – presents can be rocks, gems, minerals, crystals, fossils, cabochons, slabs, jewelry, tumbled stones – anything you think might be a nice gift for a rock enthusiast. 

  • Our own Mike Blanton will bring his expertise to this club meeting program – he will share the tools, tips and tricks he has developed to drill holes in stones and minerals so you can do more with the rocks you find. Show and Tell: bring a rock you’d like to make into something else.

  • Club Wagonmaster and rock shop creator Roger Danneman will present an overview of the new club shop – including equipment, scheduling, stewards, and what you can expect from this exciting new resource.  Show and Tell: bring a rock you want to polish or make into a cabochon (or something you’ve already polished or made)
