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...
