I have wanted to check out a creek down by the Cispus River, and was finally able to today. ?Chuck and Becky were able to go with me. ?We met up at 6:00am and after 2 hours of driving ended up parked next to some huge boulders.
Creek Rockhounding
Skokomish River HAUL!!!
Hiking two miles with 65 pounds on your back is alright for the young and foolish, but as I get older I find it harder to carry that much rock. ?Scott and I headed for the Skokomish River today to look for orbicular jasper, and when we found two large boulders of orbicular jasper, we couldn’t leave them behind.
Thankfully, Scott is still young enough to think carrying that much weight is not that big of a deal.
