History of Mountain Pine

The Crystal That Keeps Your Watch on Time RoadyGoat

The hills near Hot Springs hide one of the world's great treasures of clear quartz crystal, and the town of Mount Ida just up the road calls itself the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World. Roughly ninety-nine percent of the quartz mined in the United States comes out of this corner of Arkansas, in veins that can run sixty feet wide. But quartz isn't just pretty. It's secretly an engineer. Quartz is piezoelectric, meaning squeeze it and it makes a tiny electric charge, and feed it electricity and it vibrates at a perfectly steady beat. That heartbeat is exactly what keeps a quartz watch ticking and what times the chips inside your phone and computer. So those glittering crystals coming out of the Arkansas ground are the same mineral keeping the modern world on schedule.

You're Drinking Bronze-Age Rain RoadyGoat

Fill a cup from a Hot Springs fountain and you're sipping rain that fell before the pyramids were finished. Park scientists carbon-dated this water, and the answer stunned them: most of it is about four thousand four hundred years old. Here's the journey it took. Rain soaked into the Ouachita Mountains during the Bronze Age, then trickled down through cracks in the rock, one painfully slow inch at a time, sinking more than a mile underground. Down there the Earth's heat cooked it to a scald. Then, under pressure, it raced back to the surface in a fraction of the time it took to go down. So the water steaming out today began its trip when wooly mammoths were barely gone and Stonehenge was brand new. It's the oldest thing you'll ever taste.

Hot Springs: The Town That Tells You Exactly What It Is RoadyGoat

1832

Here's a town that's exactly what it says on the label. Forty-seven natural thermal springs steam out of Hot Springs Mountain at a steady one hundred forty-three degrees, and people have been soaking in them for thousands of years. The water was considered so valuable that in eighteen thirty-two the United States set the whole area aside as a federal reservation, to keep it public. That was the very first federal land set-aside in American history, a full forty years before Yellowstone became the first national park. The site officially became Hot Springs National Park in nineteen twenty-one. Around it rose the grand bathhouses of Bathhouse Row, and the town earned a nickname that stuck: the American Spa. One million gallons of ancient hot water a day, all of it free to the public.
