June 15th, 2019 Red Top Field Trip Report

Field trip reports

Had some beautiful weather for the Red Top trip. Gorgeous views. 9 of us altogether. I love the agate material from there, but also found some nice jaspers and I’m anxious to get them tumbled and polished. The Gray Jays found us during lunch and were coming right up to us for chips. Lots of wildflowers blooming too
