Man that most have been nlce,I did'nt know about the quartz mine,that will be on the todo list also.Was it paved trail or loose to get up to the mine ?My dd cousins gave her a shoe box full of different stones and gems.Such a nice place ,I can't wait to go back.We did'nt get to Hot Springs ,my kids would love the duck ride.My wifes family has sent all sorts of plans for next trip, and she already is planning a 9 day stay in June 08.Thanks for imfo about mine.
