Вставка

- Kate and Kava explore a cave FULL of the rhyolite nodules known as thundereggs. The steep climb up to the rocky cliff is difficult and hot, but the views from the top are more than worth the effort. The end of Day 2 of Kate's Great Rockhounding Adventure.

Awesome 👌
Such a neat looking place!
Thank you 🥰 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting this. My daughter and I are going to succor creek in may '24. Also exploring all over the Owyhee area. Leslie, Dago, Long gulches etc.. Marked a place for nice picture jasper to boot.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you safe travels
I really like your video and exploring for rocks in eastern Oregon. So I subscribe thank you for inviting me on your adventures! From El Dorado, Northern Cali
I live just around the corner from succer creek!! We where just up there!! Awesome 👏 job..
It’s such a beautiful place!
awesome!!!!!
It really was!
Awesome... sorry Jim missed out.
But what a adventure.
Thanks - it was a good one.
That was cool!!! I guess all those caves were dug by people looking for thunder eggs? Wow!
Dustin, I don't think so. I think the caves have to do with areas of softer material eroding out. If I visit again, I'll figure out a safer way to climb up to them and check it out.
i now exactly where you are and i have bee n in that cave before. we have removed many beautiful thundereggs from this cave. they are buried in the dirt up at the closed end of the cave buried in the gravel.
Thanks as always for sharing. We were there for the 2nd and 3rd of July this year at a couple mines around three finger gulch area, beautiful but extreme country there. Hiking that steep hill is not very much fun IMO other than to see that thunderegg "waterfall" coming over the ridge as the bed/seam lays tilted to the horizontal. FYI...better eggs on the other side of the hill as most outta that seam on this side are "rotten" inside~ Thanks again for sharing! PS..that area is also chock full of different types of birds from prey up to predator.
It looks like your gas tank plug is out??? I would've given you a like anyway as I'm enjoying your vids - but you definately get one for hiking up that mountain - you go woman! We don't have anything like that in NZ so I really appreciate your sharing the beauty.
Wow! What rugged terrain and beautiful scenery. You know you’ve been on an adventure when you get a good sunburn! Keep cool, and thanks Kate!😄👍
Thanks, Donna - it was pretty amazing.
Beautiful window view from the entrance of that cave. Nice thundereggs. Some of those are so huge!
Thanks for taking us along Kate. Better add this place to my adventure list. Oh, and it looks like the fuel cap is just tad bit loose on Mud Pie!🫣
:D
What an absolutely amazing and beautiful place. It has now gone on my bucket list. Thank you so much for showing it to me.
Glad to add it to your bucket list. ;)
Wow, to the extreme! Some of those shots reminded me of images seen in western movies I watched as a kid. Beyond that this is a great reminder of just how small we really are in this great world we have been gifted.
So right.
Awesome adventure. Thanks for taking us along! 😁❤️
She was very close to prime diggings.
I suspect I missed a lot of the good stuff. :) I did get to go to dig blue thundereggs with the local rock club.
Excellent! 😊
What a great adventure!! Can’t wait to see what is inside!
:) It was!
Good on Ya’, KatyDid!! What an awesome adventure! You really GOT IT DONE, going up there! You make us all proud!💎 What awesome scenery! A nice big “WOW” to you!!💎
Thank you! :)
That was definitely an adventure! What a great place! Gotta put that down on my bucket list!💖
It really is amazing!
Beautiful scenery.
Informative and a delight to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those blue agate ones are so beautiful. I have one of them myself. Succor creek is a gorgeous area. The time of year you went is awesome! Im glad you got your adventure Kate. There is some really beautiful parts of Oregon and the drive between oregon and montana is just beautiful. Ive driven back and forth between colorado and oregon many times and montana is a beautiful stop inbetween. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
It was exactly what I needed.
WOW! That shot at the 8:32 mark was just full of thunder eggs.. Wish you could pound them out & cut them open. Thanks for taking us along!!
Gorgeous mountains!
They are!
Just found your videos and I'm really enjoying them. I just got into rockhounding recently but I have limited mobility so I enjoy watching you go to different places because it gives me an idea of if I would be able to access it or not. I'd really like to see you do a series on easily accessible places to Rockhound. Keep up the good work. Rock on.
I think this is a wonderful idea! Let me know what “accessible “ looks like for you!
@@KatyDidRocks For me accessible means places that do not have a long distance to walk, no climbing up or down rocky or slippery slopes. Thanks for considering my suggestion.
Imagine what it would have looked like back in the day, with the volcanos and lava flows going constantly... Than to be able to create beautiful stones like that...
Great video ...
“Looking for an adventure” I can sure get behind the feeling!
😊 It’s out there!
Beautiful place 😍
It really is!
Beautiful area Kate
It really is!
I'll take that view any time!😊
I must agree.
5:12 beautiful view 👍
It is amazing!
How far in are you?😊
Do you go left or right after the bridge? How far down passed the bridge ? Thank you !
Hey there - the cave is right above the main campground, and easily visible. I'm not sure about the bridge, sorry.
Hey Kate, are all the holes from thunder eggs that fell out or got picked out?
I'm pretty sure most of them fell out - they are just packed solid. Not the best interiors in most of them, but still super cool.
@@KatyDidRocks Very cool. Thanx for taking us along.
So glad you didn't anything more then a little sunburn.
:D I'm not sure, looking at it, if it was sunburn, or just overheating from the climb!
Looks like you had a good time. Sorry you fell on coming down. Hope the trip was worth it. Maybe you need to bring strong hiking partner with you next time. Take care.
It was totally worth it - and I'm pretty sure a strong hiking partner would not have helped. Perhaps a stout stick... :D
It looks like prime Rattle snake country … I’m not as brave as you are for sure!
Oh, there are rattlers where I live too. They are very shy and really just want to be left alone.
