Rockin' Around Rainier

On this Rockin' trip you'll learn the secrets of prospectors, to be able to find your own gem and mineral localities.   This trip is the field portion of Bob's popular prospecting class, but you do not have to take the class to find treasures on the trip. You'll learn to read the rocks for clues, as we collect jasper, crystals, pumice and other volcanic surprises, all of which owe their existance to Washington's volcanic heritage.  We'll trace the violent explosions and quiet eruptions which built the Cascade volcanos we see today, all outside the park, so you can keep all the treasures we find! 

We overnight in Chehalis, where you'll dig into our edible geology program on Saturday evening.  Our mid-price motel offers comfortable accomodations; we provide a booking code with your confirmation so the motel will give you our discounted rate. You can attend the evening program whether you stay with the group or on your own.
