Boulder Sunday - The Reward Mine

What better place to go looking for boulders than a mine? This is the Reward Mine in Inyo County, California. 

It was a famous gold mine that also produced many different rare minerals like linartie. Long ago abandoned it then became a hot spot for mineral collectors who were looking for rare minerals the miners tossed aside. Here is some chrysocolla in a 2' boulder.

Here is a view back down the mountain looking west towards the snow capped Sierra Nevadas. The views alone are worth coming out to these remote locations.

Where ever you find yourself, pour yourself one for me and make it a strong one!
