Our field trip for September will be the 29-30th in the Big Bear Lake area. Camping will be in
the historic Holcomb Valley near where Van Dusen Canyon Road, from Big Bear City,
joins Holcomb Valley Road. This is a forestry campground so you will need the Adventure
Pass or equivalent.
This area is close enough to the San Gabriel Valley to be a one day affair. We will meet at 9 am
Saturday morning at the “Discovery Center”, just west of Big Bear City, past Fawnskin, for our
hunting and gathering.
We will hike the .65 mile to the hill that has the beautiful clear quartz crystals laying about. Bring
water, shovel, small mesh screen, hat. Other possibilities for this area are the marble quarries, and
the Blue Quartz Mine, if it is not now the skeet range. Phil Terrio has other areas in mind also.
Saturday night will be our pot luck dinner.
Information and signup sheets will be available at our September 11th meeting.
See you on the mountain:
