fIELD TRIPS

Jim will be leading a field trip to the South Fork of the Big Nemaha River on August 9, 2025. We will meet at the Casey’s in Pawnee City
at 10:00 a.m.
The drive from Lincoln takes approximately 1½ hours, depending on traffic and road construction.

From Casey’s, we will caravan to Miles Ranch where we will collect agates, jaspers, fossils, and other materials on the river.
This location is easily accessed and fairly flat.

Bring your own picnic lunch and water. Shade will be available.
It will most likely be HOT, so dress accordingly and
use sunscreen and bug repellent.

Please let Jim or Sharon know if you plan to attend.
