Field Trip Report:
Buck Creek,
Clay County, N.C.
June 29th-July 4th, 2005Well, we got the tree moved and then decided to hike down to the Cateye from the top of the mountain? So we all piled in some of the members trucks and caravanned to the Chunky Gal parking area.
How to kill a quarter ton truck, haul me in the back!
Some of the group ready to head down the mountain.
Once we arrived, we dispersed throughout the creek and began finding the sapphires.
