North of Revelstoke, still too much snow to reasonably explore. Next week again:
Bears, bears, everywhere. Fortunately looking sleek and well fed. 6 in one day!
The road North towards Mica Dam...
End of the road about 20 km past the Mica Dam
Staffs in the sand, resembling dragons, campsite.
Snowy river...
Promising vein of rotting, rusty quartz. West of Trout Lake, beside the road, I should have gathered some of the degraded rust and panned it, but as it was beside the road I told myself that it had doubtless been done before. That's piss-poor reasoning.
Copper in the ore. Promising. Should have panned it...Next Week!!!
Spray of Black Tourmaline (Schorl) in pegmatite. Mighty fine, but no other gems, and the tourmaline was largely crumbly.
Found my safe injection site...

Perfect place to try the Trump Cure and shoot up on Lysol and Bleach...

So far, a nightmare of Ticks, hordes of other as yet unidentified biting insects, and very few finds. A new pegmatite, no gems...anyways, let the pictures tell the tale:
Striated & mineralized schist..
Green gob-spawn of some sort on quartz...
red crystal growths on pegmatite, looks like garnet, shaped like?
Garnets embedded in Schist.

This was - in almost every aspect - a terrible movie. Despite the All-Star cast.
But, that said - a little bit ahead of the curve in the prescient foreshadowing of what's now come to pass, from the wet-markets, social distancing, bad actors (definitely not enough of those!!!) reactions, etc.
Where it fails is in the imagined response of the US reacting to the threat. Because nobody could have imagined the Trump. Or - wait - maybe somebody did...
