John at the sluicer
After two loads of mud, clay and rock, John had about enough but found one or two decent garnets. Somehow, he managed to stay cleaner than I did. I think he really did have fun.
Garnets in the rough
Some of the garnets we found today when gem mining in Clarkia, ID. They've been washed but not scrubbed.

bird in his house. WA
Unidentified bird coming out of his home. He was not too happy with me standing nearby and takng his picture.
Deer watch
Along our ascent, there was a doe about 50 yards checking us out from the safety of the heavy brush. We just quiety stared at each other while I took this pic. We were both just as curious about each other.
stopping to check me out
this mt. chipmunk wasn't too sure of my presence and why I would take residence on one of "his rocks". He soon warmed up to me.
