Lolo Pass in September!

My wife, Joyce and I recently went on a long two week trip to North Dakota. ?This trip was not intended for collecting rocks, but I did manage to squeeze in a few short stops. ?The first one to Lolo Pass, Montana.

This stop was possible because we needed a place to stay our first night and the hot springs at Lolo Pass called to us. ?While Joyce was able to sleep in I got up before dawn and headed to a great Smokey Quartz location.

Night time is not good rock hunting time.

I spent a few hours waiting for daylight before heading out with my tools. ?The fall colors were crying out to have their picture taken, so I obliged them.

Colors that wake you up!

I hiked up an old logging road to a spot that I had visited before and spent two hours digging. ?At this point I decided to explore and hiked around the hills looking for evidence of crystals.

It wasn’t long before my time was up and I had to head back and pick up Joyce for our next leg of the journey. ?I did not find much this trip, as shown here, but had a great time in the mountains of Montana.

Two small and one medium crystal.

Thanks for joining me.
