Years ago I was on a geology field trip that toured a working underground copper mine near Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. We walked in about 1,000 feet, and I collected some nice fool's gold (iron pyrite from the mine ceiling. I still have these pretty rocks, which remind me of a summer day in southern Minnesota when I was about six years old. My friends and I climbed a hill in a nearby cow pasture, and found some glacial erratic boulders full of shiny flecks that glinted in the sunlight. In our children's imagination we pretended they were gold, and dreamed of climbing tall mountains in distant places. ;)
