What a great group. We went for a short vertical hike. LOL! Everyone is looking for rocks on the ground. We do have a quartz vein, which DH's Gma used to call a Silica Mine. It is probably the oldest worked mine in the region. The Indians mined the quartz to make arrowheads. The gold miners prospected for gold bearing ore, which this is, but at the time it was too costly to extract the gold. For which I'm very grateful. : - )
