Reply to comment by wildskies2525 in Franklin WA, My favorite place in all of Washington by wildskies2525

Thanks much for the information. I'll check out the site/book. I'm in Bellingham so Baker Lake is certainly reachable. We've gone to the fossil fields near Mosquito Lake Road and found lots of plant fossils.

The most exciting thing in the world would be to find a geode in the wild but just being in the woods or on a stream is fun. I assume you're referring to the Walker Valley near Big Lake?

Yep, Walker Valley is a fairly well traversed site but is easy to get to. Only a short way off road.

I get real giddy when I find a good sized piece of petrified wood(fist sized or bigger). I typically don't hold on to much though, often give it away to friends kids who are intrested in it and there parents can't or won't take them to look. Working on my next round of leaf and fern fossils for gift actually as I type this..
