i wanted to do the similar - take home some clay - from my trip thru
wyoming a few years back. a beautiful state. except no where did i
see a spot that wouldn't be disrupted by my removal of some local dirt.
so i didn't take any home...

that state has so much clay color that i would love to move there!

as a last resort i bought a knife that had various colors of wood
laminated togethere to aproximate the local clay strata to me.

put the state on your list if you've never been there!

see ya

Agree. The northwest is one of the most spectacular parts of this country.
Glacier National Park is one of the most amazing sites I have ever seen. In
the 70's I traveled across country going from one national park to the
next - Glacier is one that I can still see with my minds eye - a river of
clear intensely turquoise water over red rock - a lot of copper do you
think?

i hope it's copper... but the year i was traveling up that way they
had a BIG long forest fire going on. also i hear that from global
warming, the glacier is almost gone. that's A LOT of ice to melt!

keep it alive in your minds eye!

Or cover it in PVC foam like they are trying here in Switzerland!

Many years ago I tagged along on a Field Botany trip
to Glacier for a class taught by a friend. One of the students was a
geologist, and she pointed out the red and blue rock layers
to us. I'm pretty sure she said these were caused by
differing oxidation states of iron, not copper. But that was
30 years ago, so that neuron could be on its way out by now!

Best regards,
