✨Mountain Diaries ✨
Saturday, May 23rd...
We had a mountain full up here!
✨💎✨ Guests from across the states brought high vibes and persistent attitudes to take on the mountain!
✨💎✨ Our Jr. Rockhounds and Pebble pups sure we're lucky with all their finds! We loved seeing the excitement of young families collecting! Just as our family had done with our young children throughout their entire childhood 💚💎💚
✨💎✨ Our miners discovered a snake while digging, Rosalie relocated the little buddy to safer territories 💚🐍💚
✨🌿💚🌿✨We hosted botanists from NYFA,
These guests took their time studying our flora along the trails up to the mountain top! We can't wait to read the report!
The excitement was so high! The mountain side here has many rare and unusual plant species! Some very out of place, Some not seen for this area and geography!! Isn't that exciting! We learned that this area hadn't been well researched, and happily agreed to any further studies! 💚🌿💚
⚒️ Our kiddoes worked beside us as we checked everyone in, Rosalie behind the counter then up to the mine as a guide, Bobby parked all those cars and advised our visitors, Family owned and operated!🩵

👉Today we have rainy skies, That won't be stopping today's collecting adventures!
We are Open today and tomorrow for collecting ⚒️💎⚒️ Check in at 9! Rain or shine!
