2019 M.S.M. Summer Field Trips
Lucy Pegmatite Field Trip (Saturday, July 20th, 2019)
This trip may not be for everyone, as it may involve getting wet feet and fending off bugs in the summer heat. Moderate physical condition is a necessary requirement. But for the adventurous, this may be the trip you are looking for. We will be looking for collectible minerals like white Spodumene crystals, blue Apatite, Fluorite and Indicolite (blue Tourmaline. Because of the 1 KM hike this would be a very weather sensitive trip. Too hot or too wet could effect this trip.
To register call Jack Bauer.
Itinerary:
MEETING LOCATION; Deacons corner, @ Hwy # 1 East at Hwy # 207 at the Petro Can parking lot. Last chance for a coffee or a pit stop. Members can double up here if they wish to car pool.
TIME; 9 AM , this time may change, if we end up in a heat wave, we may want to start out earlier. Please contact Jack two/three days prior, in case this time changes. We will then have a better idea of what the weather will bring.
Recommended Supplies:
