]]> December 20, 2017 – We had seven club members head out to Gray Mountain to collect Petrified Wood and Jasper.  The morning started out a bit cooler than most of us found comfortable, but by the time we got to our second stop the wind had died down and the temperature was as nearly perfect as I’ve ever felt it out there.

We followed several dirt tracks just to see where they went and found plenty of the rocks we were looking for – including a few specimens of Petrified Wood sporting delightful druzy crystals.  The Jasper was plentiful in a couple of spots just off the main road into the BLM area we were collecting in.

As several of us hadn’t followed the main road all the way out to the Little Colorado river before, we took that drive, which is well worth it if you enjoy amazing sandstone sculptures.

]]> September’s field trip was well attended and productive, eight club members departed from the Market at Silver Saddle and State Route 89  for Gray Mountain. Upon our arrival to the area, Andrea Eubanks led the way to our primary collecting site, winding through geologic sandstone formations to a plateau above the Little Colorado River . There we fanned out across a wide area finding  broken pieces of Petrified Wood left behind by a massive flood eon’s ago. Our recent rains helped uncover some cut-able prizes.

Members present, included Andrea, Gordon, Alan, Loewn, John & Beth and Marty & Linda.
