If you've ever wanted to head to Northeast California and dig for Davis Creek rainbow obsidian, this is the Rockhound Odyssey for you! This joint trip with the Mariposa Gem & Mineral Society will feature digs at the Davis Creek Middle Fork and Lassen Creek sites, lead by professional obsidian miners, as well as digs for spiderweb rhyolite, thundereggs, jasper, petrified wood and more!
Here's the lineup of digs, by day:
Saturday, July 15th - We'll start the trip at the Lassen Creek campground, and dig obsidian at the nearby Lassen Creek (Rainbow Mine) site. Later in the afternoon, we'll cross the border into Oregon to visit Frank Newman's Outback Rock Shop. Oh, and Frank will be digging with us the first two days. We'll get great rainbow obsidian!
Sunday, July 16th - Middle Fork rainbow obsidian site, Goose Lake spiderweb rhyolite, jasper and thundereggs.
Monday, July 17th - Cedarville petrified wood
Tuesday, July 18th - Goose Lake spiderweb rhyolite, jasper and thundereggs
Wednesday, July 19th - Spectrum Sunstone Mine, Plush, Oregon
Thursday, July 20th - Jack's Valley petrified wood, north of Susanville, CA
You'll find the full itinerary linked below.
Make your plans now, rockhounds ... It's gonna be an EPIC field trip!

Been all through that region as that's where I deer hunted too. That's a long haul even if you are in Commiefornia. Like eight hours even from the Bay area but there are some fine rocks up that way.....Mel
