"So tired. Finney Creek road is blocked by a log jam just past mile post 7 (Gee Creek I believe) but it looks like you can get through via Deer Creek Pass (Segelsen Pass) as they have filled the washout on the other side of the log...Don't quote me on that. I'll find out next week. Still, I climbed down to the creek by way of the next creek back down. This was only my second collection trip on Finney Creek proper, so I'm not sure what I came out with. I didn't come out with the white jade I know is there (my brother picked up a piece last year). That trip I picked up the "Goblin Green" piece (Finney Creek Album, along with a lot of serpentinite).
The jade on Finney is, or so I've heard, notoriously rindy, often foliated/talcy on the outside but good inside and there is, of course, a lot of serpentinite and schists. I didn't see any reconizable rodingite, but it may be a greener variety that I'm not familiar with yet (There were suspicious stones).
