Next SVGMS Official Field Trip


Important! Official Field trips are for Club Members ONLY!

You must have your dues paid and your membership recorded in advance of attending an official field trip.

Ed Stuart, our field trip coordinator, gave an update on future trips.

All are tentative dates and places. (I will give you updates as Ed relays them to me.)

Cedar Mountain Stone in Culpeper has declined our request.

1- The club has been to Turkey Hollow in Vesuvius previously. Ed has made plans for us to visit there in March or April to collect unakite.

2-He is still in communication with the operator of Frazier Quarries in Rockingham County. This field trip would have some stipulations - one of the most important is that we would have a limited number of attendees, and we would have to visit in a van or bus, as only 2 or 3 vehicles are allowed on the property.

3-A trip to Rose River at Graves' mountain is in the works for June-August. $10/person would be charged, or a set fee for pavilion use would be charged. There is food for sale and restrooms at the lodge. We would have access to a mile of the river.

4-A May/June trip possibility is to the Tye River at Massies Mill. 5-Roses Mill at Piney River in Nelson county is another possibility.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ED!

Ed Stuart, SVGMS Field Trip Coordinator
