It was a tad upsetting lately to see that the park "service" decided to run more bulldozers through Almaden Quicksilver Park, trashing the place quite effectively. Doubly so, because all the fresh mud will flow much more quickly into the watersheds now that rain is on the way. Ironically, I'm sure they will close the trails so walkers dont "damage" the trails after it has rained. The same has happened up on the peninsula, where their jeeps run huge tire tracks through the mud, but if you dare and go off trail, you'll be accused of demolishing the park. In a free world, the police would have to obey the rules, too. Long time before that happens.
On the plus side, their bulldozer exposed and smashed open quite a few rocks, exposing their cut surfaces, which is a pleasure for any rockhound. I think I may even have found a piece of Cinnabar!
