Thanks for the heads up. I just found some awesome rocks in the ditch at site 18 near Diablo which have very small examples of Garnet. There's also allot of gold colored flake mixed in and it's very crumbly. Not sure if the flakes are actually metallic or small crystals that looks metallic.
If North America and Siletzia crammed into each other, it seems there would be compressional pressures on the continent. What was the cause of the extension event referred to in the Okanogan section?
