Join Tom Frey for a geologic field trip to the Shoofly Sand Pit located about 70 miles from Boise.  The sand pit contains abundant small fossils from Lake Idaho deposits. The IMMG also has an archeologist shaker table that people can use to sift sand for fossils. Great for families and kids.  We will meet at the Albertsons parking lot, 6574 S. Federal Way, near McDonalds,  on Hwy 21 and Federal Way at 9:45 AM, departing at 10 AM.  We will arrange carpools at this location. The roads are paved except for the last 1.7 miles, which is a good quality dirt road. We will return to the carpool location at ~3 PM.  No dogs, please. Sponsored by the Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology, 2455 Old Penitentiary Rd. Boise.  Museum members and kids-free; Non-members of the museum-$20. Tickets fully refunded if the Museum cancels the trip.  Please read all details on the link. Pre-registration is required. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/shoofly-sand-pit-fossils-geologic-field-trip-tickets-2003938767799?aff=oddtdtcreator
