Helena, Sapphire mine, Forest Drive, Grub Stake, Pool - Thursday

Cooler morning yesterday as I watched the deer raiding the barn.

We went to breakfast at a local diner, the Hardware Cafe. Really good food and not super busy given the Thursday morning being a weekday.

Then we drove up to the sapphire mine where we have our biggest Sapphires being faceted and the smaller 7 being sent off over seas to be faceted. Likely be Christmas before we see them back.

We also picked up a pair of their Mother Lode bags to sift through once home in hopes of more larger sapphires.

R found himself the center of the pets' attention for a while.

@stryeyz and I went for a drive and found forest service land. Short hike around at a trail head.

Crazy big ant colony where there were 5 mounds within a small area. It had to be one colony as close as they were together.

We drove up to Grub Stake fore dinner as I LOVE the steak salad. 6oz steak on the salad, SO TASTY!

Finished the night off with pool before bed.

Today is my first day of #paragliding SIV and I need to be to the lake by 8:45 or so then should get 2 tows in today as we only have 5 of us this time. If the weather holds all three days I could get 6 tows in, I am hoping.
