Looks like a pretty cool place to explore.

Looks like the kind of places I'd be attracted to as well, lol. Sad when some ppl ruin it for others though. Ever find any snakes in there? -Maybe the ravens ate them all though?...

I never found any snakes. As an adult I would visit in the colder fall months. When I was kid my family would visit in the summer there were would be a lot of people mining...I imagine the impact vibrations would make any snakes hide.

Re: Snakes and Stones
Photo #41
After a while I can start to identify stones that are unlikely to tumble/polish well...I still take a shot at them, I get lucky every now and then.
These are not the lucky ones.
I photograph all the stones I tumble (good and bad). The better ones will be shown in Photo #83.

They're all still interesting though- whether it's stones, snakes or even humans, we're all "diamonds in the rough" with unequal gifts- how boring it would be if all were the same.
And we don't all see them the same way anyhow.

Lepidolite: the stones may look rough in the photo, but, are in fact completely smooth.
