We spent yesterday out at Crystal Peak. It used to be a quartz crystal mine for the US military (quartz crystal vibrates at a good frequency for radio communication) beginning in 1940 and mined off and on until the early 70s but the area is now maintained by the Forest Service as a recreational site. It's a fun place to go crystal hunting and I found 3 or 4 pinky sized crystals yesterday in addition to all of the lovely crystals and other rocks pictured above (I LOVE the heart shaped quartz!). There are also beautiful views in every direction which makes it a lovely place to sit and read.
