The July Meeting will be on Tuesday July 20^th, 6:30 p.m. at the Old Timers Shelter in Ann Morrison Park at the end of Royal Blvd (see map).  Guests are always welcome.


The July Field Trip will be to: Graveyard Point for plume and moss agate

When: Saturday July 24th meet between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.  We will leave promptly at 8 a.m.

Where to meet: Kmart parking lot on Karcher Rd (Highway 55). We will caravan from Kmart.

How to get there: travel West on I-84 to Exit 33A, the new Highway 55 exit.  Travel West on Highway 55 through Marsing to the Intersection of Hwy 55 and Hwy 95.  We will stop here at the ION Truck Stop for a refresher break and to meet others that are coming from different directions. We will proceed on Highway 95 to just past Milepost 31 where we will turn left onto Graveyard Point Rd., continue until the pavement ends at Sage Rd., go left for about a mile.  The road will curve to the left again; just before this curve you will see a bridge that crosses the canal.  From here there are numerous dirt roads that go to various claims and different areas.  We will make multiple collecting stops, all in the Graveyard Point area.

Equipment needed: rock hammer, chisel, shovel, safety glasses, appropriate clothing for the weather and location, food for the time you will be there, water, full tank of gas, and any items you need for your personal use.  It is tick season, so bring tick spray or wipes! Rattlesnakes are abundant this year; be aware and careful of snakes and areas that have snakes.  If you would like more information, please come to our Gem Club meeting, July 20^th, 6:30 p.m. at the Old Timers Shelter in Ann Morrison Park at the end of Royal Blvd or Call our Field Trip Chairman
