Thanks for this video! I tried to get out there today but I couldn't find the access road, so I'll have to try again when I get the time. I got to work with Kurt Carr for a few months as an intern, very funny and knowledgeable guy!

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you can find the access road. Use the GPS coordinates I provide. Put it in Google Maps on your phone or on the computer and it should take you straight there. If you still have a connection with Dr. Carr, tell him to publish his work!! Lol

Thanks for the great video. Finally walked this area this past spring. Appreciate the good info and your bringing light to some of the more obscure bits of history in our area.

Nice video. I just learned of Snaggy Ridge recently. I've found a couple of flakes of this rhyolite near Harrisburg.

That is quite possible! The trade of the material went a long way, and Natives would travel long distances to the mines on Snaggy Ridge. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting!!

Thanks for this video. I just found out about this site, but am too old to make the hike.

It isn't bad terrain wise but is a little bit of a distance. Glad you enjoyed the video!!
