CMS Nov 13th 2021 Field Trip to First Creek (agate, crystals, geodes)

I cancelled this trip on the Thursday before it, but then on the next day I reinstated it.  Read the Field Trip Report for more info.

outing is cancelled due to weather concerns.  Notifications went out by e-mail on Nov.11 to those who expressed interest.  Will be rescheduled if we have favorable weather in Dec.  – Roger D.

On Nov. 13th 2021, we will be going to First Creek which is east of Cle Elum and part of the Teanaway formation.  Meet 9:30 AM in the Cle Elum Safeway parking lot near the gas pumps (exit 84 – 702 W 1st St, Cle Elum), about 1.5 hour drive from Renton.  We’ll leave there at 9:45, head east on Hwy 970, and park at the First Creek parking area (about 10 miles away – just 1/2 mile north of 97/970 junction).

Group will leave from the First Creek parking lot about 10:10 AM!

Agates, Jasper, Geodes, and Crystal – Bring digging and hard rock tools, buckets, and sturdy shoes. Appropriate clothing for weather, lunch, drinking water and snacks.  This is a 2 mile hike on a logging road with 5 moderate ups and downs.  A wagon or jogging cart is handy for carrying tools and material.

Presidents Message

  • From the Top of the Rock Pile From the Top of the Rock Pile Our Gem Show is sold out. Everything is moving along with the show. We will be asking for volunteers at the June meeting plus via email. Please plan on helping out at our show. It takes around 50 people to cover all 3 days. I have not been out to see how the building of our indoor shop is coming along at Roger’s home, but I hear from members that it is really coming along. With some good weather, progress should really move along fast. If
