Took a gamble, took a couple falls and climbed up a mountain to a rimrock on the very peak. Found a vug full of angelwing. Only piece I got off the walls because I didn't have chisels, just a pick.

Ground piece I dug out. Looks like it might have some white plumes in it.

I have another piece in the saw with what appears to be black plume in it that was another ground find. I'll post pics later if its nice.

	“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche

Road tripping in the southern WA/northern Oregon area is hard. I rockhound from the windows of my car on the ridges around me. Some day, when I'm traveling alone, I'll stop and see what's in those hills...
