Field Trip – Midwest Concrete Materials Field Trip – Midwest Concrete Materials
2026-06-28 09:00 - 12:00 | Midwest Concrete Materials Quarry – Wamego, 41050 K 99 HWY., Wamego, KS, United States
Greeting Fellow Field Trippers,
TTGMS is happy to announce that we will be having a Field Trip, Sunday, June 28.
For the Field Trip we will meet at the Midwest Concrete Materials quarry at 9:00am for Instructions and Group Photo. The quarry is located approximately 1 mile south of the Kansas River at Wamego on the west side of 99 highway.
We will be allowed a maximum of 2 – 5 gallon buckets of specimens per individual. Feel free to bring a cart to haul your buckets if you so desire. Small hand digging tools may be used but I think most folks just surface collect. It’s June in Kansas so expect it to be hot and could be rainy??? Wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water. Don’t forget a sun hat or sunscreen. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult (duh). We must stay away from the machinery and the water as the shoreline is sand and prone to collapse.
