Sept 15th, 2018 Little Naches Field Trip Report

CMS folks joined a Mineral Council trip to Little Naches on Sat. Sept. 15. We had 16 vehicles on this trip, 5 vehicles (+1 guest) of which were from CMS. It was a great day with perfect fall weather. 3 sites visited. 1st was a hike to Thunder Egg hilltop site. 2nd was to a hillside for Lily Pad jasper (which is like small thunder eggs in matrix having red and green colors). 3rd was for leaf fossils in mudstone matrix. Quite a variety of material and a lot of fun.

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
