Been kinda lacking at posting this Summer. Very busy, very busy. Worked on the ranch for most of the Spring and Summer. Stacked over 1000 round bails of hay (1300lbs each, used a loader of course a 1000 lbs heaver then I can lift). I did take Debby on a birthday Rockhounding Trip to Agate Mountain, Montana. We also went to Lemhi Pass.
We set up camp at Clark Canyon Dam. The water was high.

We had a visitor at the camp.

At the top

We even had Diane (drocknut)

This a cab made from Agatetized Algae from this area

We then went to Lemhi Pass

Seen the start of the Mighty Missouri River

Debby and Penny Straddle the Mighty Missouri River (or the start of it)

We drove around at the top of the pass and found a quartz load, very white quartzite

This was a very fun trip. Debby had a very nice birthday.
Penny had puppies when we got back home

She had 9 puppies - 6 boys and 3 girls. you can see them at

I didn't know there was an Agate Mountain in Montana. I can't find it on google. I only see it in Az.
	It's good to be Canadian. know who grows your food, buy local.

Thanks for all the pics. That was nice of Penny to wait for you to get home. Could have been a very interesting trip home...
