CMS Sept 11th 2021 field trip to Red Top (agate, jasper, and crystal))

Past Field Trips

On Sept. 11th, 2021, we’ll be going to Red Top for agate, jasper, and crystal geodes.

Meet 9:30 AM at the Cle Elum Safeway around the gas pumps (I-90 Exit 84, 804 W 1st St, Cle Elum, WA 98922).   Group leaves promptly at 9:45.  Bring dig tools.  The meeting spot is about 1 1/2  hour drive from Renton/Kent.  There are DOT restrooms at Snoqualmie Pass and the Cle Elum Safeway.
If it’s easier for you to meet us at the Mineral Springs store, we’ll have our last vehicle stop to get you and we’ll wait up on Blue Creek Road for everyone to catch up.  So that would be a little after 10:00.

Contact me for updates if planning to attend.
