Sounds interesting! My daughter's father-in-law showed me a cinnabar mountain deposit down by San Jose that was active from pre-mission days down to the 20th century. I think it also had rattlers and certainly poison oak. When I was a kid my dentist put mercury on a dime to make it extremely shiny, as reward for being good. I would keep them and they'd turn green in my bank. I guess it was a precursor to my investing days. The cinnabar moth, named for its color, is an introduced biological control for tansy ragword, which is an introduced noxious weed. It's very effective, but the moths also chow down on dusty miller, which must be a relative because the leaves have a similar shape.
