On my reurn from taking Leilani to Billings, I wanted to stop at Crystal Park and find some smokey quartz crystals. ?Crystal Park is about an hour or two south of Butte, and I didn’t arrive until late evening. ?I quickly set up camp, slept the night away and headed for a day of crystal digging. ?To my surprise and disappointment I found a sign stating that the park was closed! ?Apparently there was a need to remove beetle killed trees in the area, and the powers that be didn’t want anyone to get hurt while the trees were being removed. ?The dates of the closure were Sept 4 thru Sept 16.
I was rewarded with a nice view of this owl though so I didn’t go away empty handed.
Making sure I didn’t ignore the closed sign at Crystal Park!
