There will be a field trip to a gravel pit in the Rockford area on June 8th, 2019. This is the same location that has been visited before. Because this is a shared trip with the Rockford club (RRVGMS) there is space for 20 ESCONI members. The trip will be from 9 AM to 12 noon.
- You and everyone in your group must be a member of ESCONI by June 5th. Have your membership status resolved by then.
- The minimum age to attend this trip is 18 years old.
- Hard hats are required!
- You will be required to sign a waiver from the quarry.
- Please review the Code of Ethics and Conduct on the ESCONI website. You will be expected to sign-in at the quarry. By signing you agree to follow the Code of Ethics and the conditions on the ESCONI Liability and Waiver form (sent by email to those that sign up). You do not need to print out the waiver form, just know what you’re agreeing to.
- ESCONI members can sign up by sending me (Dave) an email with the number of members attending and their names. My email is fossil54@att.net No phone calls please. Do not call the quarry.
- I will acknowledge by return email. If you don't get a reply in 24 hours, send it again!
- The address is 6230 Beltline Rd. Rockford, IL 61109
Note: this is a sand and gravel quarry, not the usual hard rock quarry in Rockford. There are fossils, but they come from the glacial till. So, if you are in the mood for a general rock collecting trip, this is for you!
