[QUOTE="Bretski, post: 590334, member: 20098"] Hi - I went down there a few weeks ago. Cape Liptrap itself doesn't have much of interest, a few average white quartz pebbles and a flint nodule were all I found there, it's also awkward to access the beach down a steep hill and even harder to get back up. Great scenery though. The better spot is Bear Gully campground nearby to the east of CL, the beaches in either direction have plenty of jasper pieces, some green serpentine and a few nice white quartz pebbles. Main issue is if you are looking to tumble polish nearly all the stones are pretty cracked and not very smooth. West of the campground is easier going and smaller jasper pebbles can be found in some areas on the beach, east is more rock hopping but some bigger pieces can easily be picked up. Also check out the stream (Bear Stream) about 50m up the beach to the east of the campground it has a variety of smaller pebbles. Unfortunately also none were smooth enough to tumble polish. I can post a few pics of some of the pieces found if you are still interested. Not much to look at unless they are wet though... [/QUOTE]
