| Lassen Creek/Davis Creek Obsidian... July 18, 19, 20 This yearly trip is morphing into our Annual Rock Swap and camp-out, as we're attempting to revitalize an event thats been not only a good chance to collect, but also meet up with and socialize with other rockhounds from all over the northwest. Make sure to mark your calender, come to a meeting, and check back here often for more details. Don't hesitate to e-mail me or call for questions Charlie@klamathrockclub.org Charlie Wyckoff 541-273-1102 |
| About 40 miles south of Lakeveiw, Oregon, on Hwy. 395, Davis Creek is basically just a little store. Our meeting and camping place is going to be Lassen Creek Campground, about 11 miles north of Davis Creek California. This map prints really well and will be handy for anyone planning on coming. Click for a preview, and print from that screen. |
| We should have someone there, at the campground Thursday afternoon/evenigng to reserve a spot. The spring water at the campground is not treated and must be boiled, so bringing your own fresh water is preferable. Thunder storms are common this time of year, hot daytime temps and mosquitoes are guaranteed, so come prepared. All that said, this is a great spot, there are tree's and nice shade with a little creek going through. Plans include a potluck for saturday evening, so please bring a dish if you can. We'll also be holding a silent auction after supper, so bring a few specimens to contribute, and a few bucks to buy that rock you just can't do without. Proceeds from the auction are going to be used for fuel to send club representatives to the NFMS show and annual meeting, and also ink and paper for our Newsletters. Of course we'll be organizing multiple excursions to the Pink Lady Obsidian location, the Electric Blue is right there close to the campground, and the Needle area. |
