Cryo-Genie Field trip is on for Sunday 12/2/07 (San Diego County)

11/13/2007 05:11:00

Hello All: With the fire, club field trips along with the Costa Mesa Show the forest service closing the gate, and Thanksgiving no field trips have taken place at the Cryo-Genie mine. A new date has been set for Sunday 12/2/07. This trip will cost only $30.00. 12 years of age and younger is $15.00. All will be able to dig in the tailing pile/dump and be given a tour of the insides of a working mine. Be sure and bring 1/8"-1/4" screens if you have along with water, lunch drinks and sun block. You might want to bring that flash light and small hand shovel-garden or large if you want. We will meet at the glider port 2 miles north of Warner Springs on hwy 79 at about 9:15 and leave at 9:30 Sharp on 12/2/07. I would like to know how many want to go as I am just the coordinator, so please e-mail me back. Most of the parking will be on the paved road below and a short 100 yard walk to the collecting area. If you have a 4WD you will be able to go to the top. You will be asked to sign a hold harmless agreement. If you want to camp over Saturday night I will let a few stay on the Donna claim I have and dig in the pegmatite. (No charge and keep all the stuff you find this is about 2 1/4 miles past the Cryo-Genie mine.) No large campers/5th wheels will make it on road we travel after leaving the glider port. This road is paved so 2 wheel drive will make it to the mine parking area. From the Glider port the drive to the mine is no more than 3 miles. This trip will be canceled and another date set if it plans to rain or snow and please God no fires. You will enjoy this trip.
