Excellent tramping adventure, cripes imagine the noise created from the rumbling as that massive rock landslide came hurtling and tumbling down and across the valley, it would have been darn frightening. When it comes to rock hounding or throwing rocks and lumps of wood off cliffs and into water you can never take the boy out of the man, we are all still kids at heart. Well I know I am when it comes to searching and finding rocks and stones especially any think shiny with different colored quartz in them. Panning for gold always gets the blood a flowing and the adrenaline pumping stirring your excitement whenever you see a clint in the pan... Cheers for the reel Bjarne, this one was a treat...
In the shadow of Cannon Mountain, NH., lies a resident of Franconia Notch State Park that is hidden away. It doesn’t get all the glitz and glory of the Flume Gorge. It doesn’t have an aerial tram leading up to its majestic beauty. It doesn’t even have a museum that talks about its past. But still, it’s an incredibly important part of the Notch. Of course, I’m talking about Boise Rock.
That's pretty freaking cool! There's a guy on RU-vid if you Google Mt. Baker mining company you can probably find him. He is super knowledgeable with geology and he finds quite a bit of gold. Thank you for the video.
Check out Whittlestone geological treasures, he’s our geotech we use and would be able to answer lots of your questions about rocks. You guys should do a collab they are on the island
That landslide reminds me of the eruption at Mt. St. Helens. It leveled huge trees for miles. Was like walking on the lunar surface. Looks like a fun explore Bjarne. Becareful with those rocks,they will bounce back and get ya. Lol! 😂😂 I am a rock hound also. I was salivating when you were looking at the quartz vane.
@@navydogsadventures3500 yeah I used to hunt for shedhorns a lot down on the mud flow and walked a lot of country there. I really never knew how extensive it was until a few years ago. I was in a geology class in college and we went on a tour and they explained a lot. You should definitely go up there and go on that tour thing. By the way I lived in Packwood when it blew so I thought I understood the devastation, come to find out I didn't.
@joegreenwood1443 I have hiked into the crater. It is massive and very scary. Windy Ridge is a cool, interesting visit also. Lava canyon is fun, too. I have a couple of videos from up there on my channel. Thanks for the conversation. I live in Vancouver, Washington, now. I can see the mountain out of my window. Lol
Imagine the noise that slide created. Would have loved to been there at a safe distance and witness that slide! I could spend a season there exploring and panning. Too bad you cabt recover all that timber.
Love the content brother, golding and chopping wood are two of my top interests in life. I’m pretty sure that vein had black tourmaline and quartz. Sample pan next to any interesting leaders to check for values if it’s shedding anything heavy it’ll be close.
I was working on 30 inch gas line coming through southern N.Y., and for a time was on the rock crusher. (Pretty cool, driving a 60 ton machine with remote over the hills, some 45 degree slopes) Anyway, your rock excursion reminded me of the rocks coming up the belt, broken, and some of the colors and the grain in them. I brought a lot of them home. I would say to my Honey, “I brought you freshly crushed rocks, Dear!” 😀Many of them are now in our gardens, on book shelves, porch’s front and back, and the mantle in the living room.
Been watching some of the vids while sipping a scotch . Smiling, spent 25 years going to work at 120 mph. Great stuff, love the vids. Stay safe young fella!
