To reach Ooty effortlessly, the mountain railway was founded. It was inaugurated in 1908. The working of the wheels on this narrow gauge is founded on the rack and pinion arrangement to aid it climb up the vertical mountain slopes. It travels through many tunnels offering several fantastic sights of the valley beneath. It heads through the dense forests you could see some wild animals such as elephants, monkeys, deer and wild boar on the way if you're fortunate. Few people knew exactly where it originated, and fewer still were permitted access. The location is private, house and past owners were understandably protective of the treasure. Around four decades ago a little daughter, local boy named Martin Kramer (That's Martin inside photo, characteristically swinging a pick. Also, three collectors from your Monterey / Carmel area.) was hill climbing near his Morgan Hill home, South of San Jose, California and noticed some pretty, red rocks. Back then, the jasper may be collected as float material. When that have all been removed rockhounds attacked outcrops with gads, prybars, and sledges looking for jasper in the host rock. Finally, exploratory holes were dug until two reliable veins were found just feet derived from one of another. For years this one site has supplied gem rough for lapidaries through the nation and beyond. If you notice a recent abundance of poppy jasper on the market (I have seen bowling ball-sized boulders at a few shows) it is because your website was opened to fee-digging the past couple of years. Knowing they'd soon sell their house, pet owners took advantage of the additional income stream. Long before there have been machines to work out on and competitive sports to stay moving and before wars were being fought, man didn't think about conditioning as a way of keeping healthy. He simply knew if he didn't hunt, he wouldn't eat if he didn't run, something would hunt him. They were a down economy that focused simply on survival.
