There will be a joint field trip with the Rock River Valley Gem & Mineral Society RRVGMS on October 7th, 2018. There is room 15 ESCONI members. The trip will be from 10 AM to 1 PM. There is no age limit. You will need to be a member of ESCONI or RRVGMS. Hard hats are required! You will need to complete an ESCONI field trip form which will be provided on site.
Note: this is a sand and gravel quarry, not the usual hard rock quarry in Rockford. There are fossils, but they come from the glacial till. So, if you are in the mood for a general rock collecting trip, this is for you!
Please email Duane and Therese Cushing at tcdc78@comcast.net to reserve a spot. Happy rock hounding!
