Getting kicked out of a Locality and Scoring at Another.

Last weekend my good friends the Kimble family from Massachusetts joined me o a trip to the pillow lava zeolite locality. We were there for about 2 hours and got kicked out. Oops! (we did get some good datolite and heulandite before leaving. The next spot we visited was the Hubbard Park quartz locality, although the locality is a short distance outside the park. Jimmy Kimble spotted a copperhead right away. We examined the area for other and then determined it was safe to collect. Large quantities of drusy quartz burst forth from the ledge! It was was quite the afternoon.
 The typical basalt of the quartz locality.
 Heulandite from the pillow lava locality.
 Bi pyramidal quartz!
 A big plate with some chalcedony.
A large vein. 

 The beautiful snake.
