Getting the gear ready for the hike to the site | The day started out a bit cloudy, but the scenery is still beautiful | The whole group, with our leaders just to Flynn’s right | The hike in was a mile or two | Some interesting exposed formations were along the trail on the way | One of the few flowers to bloom in the shade of the forest |
Flynn and Guinness get to work, while Shannon helps Innaias out | The site had already been visited many times previously, so was well-exposed | But with some digging and careful sifting, there was still plenty of quartz crystals to be found | Tube socks made for effective gathering pouches | Guinness and Flynn working alongside each other | Lunchtime |
