TAYLOR ROAD DUMPS
For this dig, we will meet at the Franklin Mineral Museum starting at 8:30am, have a checkin, and then walk up to the dump by 9:00am. Please bring your PPE. It is OK to break rocks on this site. You must check out at the museum weigh station to pay for the minerals collected (the site is owned by the museum). The museum opens at 10am. We will conclude the dig at 12pm noon, and our FOMS general meeting will start in the museum at Kraissl Hall at 1:30pm.
