Legend has it that there is a “black mountain” in Columbia loaded with fist sized emeralds. The only white man to have seen this mountain came back with a pocket full of such beauties and a description of the mountain. After being hopelessly lost in the jungle for an extended period of time, however, he was unable to pinpoint the mountain’s location. I wonder what kind of treasures lie in those badlands?
That is a LOT of volcanic ash! So the main treasures might be acres of petrified wood.
