Drove to Succor Crk SP in Oregon. We went via Homedale, ID & good route for here but not for Leslie Gulch. Beautiful Owyhee scenery.

Drove up a two rut track and came to a mined pit with white layered sheets of mineral. Looked it up and it was a small zeolite mine; ancient layers of volcanic ash that had been flooded and pressed into sheets by geologic time. We hiked downstream on Succor Crk until high water blocked us. Then we hiked upstream to a high ridge.

I looked for geodes but only found one that was only rock, no crystals, when I cracked it open. Really nice Spring day hike.

We stopped in Homedale and had great Mexican food at Del Rio Resturante. All around nice day.
