Walking around Graves Mountain - Searching for exotic stones
Twice a year you can visit Graves Mountain and find some really unique rocks. Anything from blue, to rainbow colored to great quartz specimens. There are reports of Rutile at this location as well but I have never come across it. Though I have seen others stumble upon it so may be possible one day.
I start taking a break after scouting the hill, and then we go through the vendor area.
I spend the day at this location, walking around and catching rides on UTVs that travel the grounds during these events. I also explore Mitch's Pond, which had to be walked to due to its isolated area. I found a few great stones in that area.
The walk was pretty intense, I walked close to 10k steps that day. Luckily I left before it got too hot, but still most of the day was pretty muggy and sunny. I tried to stay in the shade when I could but there were large areas I needed to travel through so my hat helped out with that.
I go into the main pit where the largest amount of digging has been done, and walk up the hill back to the vendor areas. I mostly did photography and video that day, as I have digged here for the last couple years already and really dont anymore specimens from here.
