On New Year's Eve day, my mom and I took a trip to an abandoned rock quarry. Our mission was to get some rock for our new fireplace at the house. Apparently, this rock quarry was only in operation from 1928-1929 and then again briefly in 1937. It's called the Vermont Marble Quarry and produced Montana Black and Gold Marble for buildings all over the Northwest.
The Quarry is nestled between two rocky ridges at the South end of a mountain range. The landscape, history, and the current weather there created really cool aura and made it a neat place to look around. It was a bit windy and cold which really added to the feel of the barren landscape. It reminded me of being in New Zealand. As we poked around, we found some old quarry excavation equipment as well as some really cool rocks. I thought I'd share with you a few pictures from our fun day.
