Tony Funk (catmandewe) and me (rockwizz) are putting together a trip in the fall to the Green River Utah area. As some of of you know...this area is well known for its vast supplies of agates, pet wood, alabaster, jasper, and who know what else. I have found chunks of pigeon blood agates weighing more than 20lbs in this area. I have been in the area several times, and every time I have come back with a half truck load.

The trip is officially on the weekend of Friday October 10 through Monday October 13

I'm going to sweeten the trip for everyone !!!Forgot to mention that late last year I discovered a wall (literally) about 50 meters long and about 3 or 4 feet wide with this green material that I think is supposed to be either jade (I hope) or some other material like citrine...The wall is huge and there is plenty of material there to fill up several trucks.

Just found out that several gem clubs will be in the area also, and also the Moab Gem Society will be holding their annual show during these dates...should be a great trip.

Update 10-03-2008
We are meeting at the Swassey Beach campground..the are is free and has a toilet and there are plenty of area for camping...here are some pictures where we'll meet on Friday.

FOR SURE!! Make it Late Fall so it's a little cooler. Lots of cool stuff down there..LOTS!!! and i need a replenishing of my supplies. I'll try to go out with the Golden Spike Rock club this year and get a few more areas for us to hunt. It's such a huge area and lots to explore. especially with 4wd. Lots of Mines too...old uranium mines.
I think I can swing this trip.

Sounds like a plan. I'm thinking early October should be ideal to hit the area. I'm planning 2~3 days for this one, cause there lots of stuff here, plus you have green river ranch, and other areas close by.

Hope to see you there.

Hey -- you have several options...probably the closes would be Moab Utah...someone could pick you up there...it is only about 20 minutes from where the action is.

Let me know...I'm leaning to having the trip early October...hopefully the first weekend or second weekend.

I will post a definite date soon.

Hope to see you there...

also...you could fly to SLC airport and I or Tony could pick you up there. Let us know what works best.

Besides, I need to save for a new saw. Have fun guys.

I am going to be out of town that weekend, but should be lots of rockhounders in the area. I know several are planning to be down there then. If you change the dates or can go a different time lmk because I really want to go down there.

Thanks

So where do we meet up?
Last trip there were quite a few members, but we didn't all hook up.
We need to figure out a way to get us all together, especially if there is going to be lots of other people running around down there.
