Gold Country Field Trip


This is an optional field trip.  There are alternatives if you cannot participate.  If you would like to participate, please meet in Parking Lot F, by the Stadium on the CRC Campus at 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 28.  We will arrange carpools and caravan throughout the field trip.  We will be at the Empire Mine in Grass Valley between 4 and 5 p.m.  Please bring $7 for entry fee to the Empire Mine, a California State Park, if you can.  Sometimes the fee is waived, but that's not always the case.  If you plan to drive, please have a full tank of gas ready.  If you plan to be a passenger in a car, please consider donating something to the driver for gas, if you can.  Only students enrolled in the class are allowed to participate.  Participants will be required to fill out a waiver form prior to leaving the CRC parking lot for the field trip.
