From http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/More+Sites+in+Washington, "Lewis River graphic Rhyolite. This is hard stuff
and takes a great polish. This was listed in Jackson's little book many
years back. I stopped by in early May of this year and yarded out
another 20 lbs. The colors range from cream-white to pink, red, purple,
green. Many pieces will display pictures when cut. Handy to bring along: 1.Hammer 2.Chisels/prybars 3.Small shovel/trowel The last stop for supplies is a small place; Northwoods at the east end of Swift Reservoir" | From the wiki page, " Exit I-5 at Woodland and take the Lewis River Road; SR-503; continue
past Cougar following the main FS road. When you reach the middle Falls,
there is a FS roadoff to the left. The material is in the roadcut a few
100 yards up. There is a nice, primitive campsite a few miles up the main road; after crossing Quartz Creek. Firerings; you bring the rest Main road is paved except for one small patch near the collecting site. Any vehicle can make the trip. GPS coordinates: -121.86783, 46.17039" |
