  • They call them diamonds. They look like diamonds. They are really nicely shaped clear quartz. Let's collect some at this $12/day per person site in NY.

    Yay!!! I go to Crystal Grove every year for my birthday! The previous owners Evan and his wife were so sweet, Evan always had a bit of information about Herks for my boys when they see younger. Queen of Diamonds is my favorite cabin! There a slew of fossils there too!

    Hiya Greg, awesome video, and I love the music in the background, I keep waiting to see Clint Eastwood to come around the corner.
    And the GPS,I have had it happen to me before, brought me a 100 miles out of my way. Lol
    I hope you have a awesome blessed day.

    Very cool trip.....glad you found it! The GPS clip is hilarious🍻! I'm 20 miles from the border and in the early cell phone packages we'd get nailed with roaming charges because the phone would get lost and bounce off your towers🙃.....hmmm who received the money? That type of mining looks very intriguing....lots of surprises 🍻.

    I love voice recognition programs written by idiots and only useful for idiots. It's frustrating and the only voice system that seems to work for me is an OLD Garmin. Love technology but can't stand talking to an embedded recursive loop. Once that happens, power down and start over. By the way, if you can emulate a South-East Asian accent, it really helps.
