Join us for our 2nd Annual Rockhounders’ Weekend. Meet some of the local “pros” and rockhounds new to the obsession...oops!....”hobby”.
On Friday evening we will gather around the campfire to be schooled in the basics: where, what and when to look for rocks, and what you can do with your finds. Hounds will share their adventure stories of hikes and climbs along the Blomidon Penninsula aka “Rockhound’s Paradise” and display some cut and polished show pieces of common gems (agate, amethyst, jasper, quartz) in rare and beautiful forms. Meet @ the Campground Host site. Saturday afternoon ( 1:30 pm), as the tide starts to head out, join in on a guided hike (30 min.) along Blomidon Beach, through the “boulder fields” to Blomidon or “Rob’ Slide” nicknamed for Lapidary and Master Rockhounder, Robert Baird. Learn how to “read the rocks” and find out about the treasures (geodes, amethyst-sandwiches) you have been stumbling over for years. Wear sturdy footwear. Meet @ Blomidon Beach parking . Info: Blomidon Park 582 7219 or [email protected]
Hosted by “Fundy Rocks” (check our facebook group) and ([email protected]).
