2007 FIELD TRIPS RECAP

Last year the club took a trip to Montana to look for Montana Moss, petrified wood and fossils.  In July club members headed north to Thunder Bay for Amethyst and in August headed to Houghton Michigan for the Midwest Federation Show.  In addition, there were day trips to Royalton to look for Staurolites and to the St. Paul Brickyards (Lilydale) to look for fossils.  Tour Director Allan Kraft indicates that twelve club members made the Lilydale trip and were rewarded with many fine fossils!
