Another try at Fairburn Agate Beds

We had the pleasure of seeing some old friends last week. Kent and Phyllis have been our friends for 30 years and we hadn't seen them in about 8 year. Unfortunately they were here the same three days that we work, so we spent evenings with them. We had a great time catching up and I can't believe I did not take any pictures!!!

Yesterday we made another try at Fairburn. Unfortunately the creek was still too high and running too quickly for us to get in. So, we went across the road and went to another area of the grasslands. We had a great hike and great day, even though we didn't find any agates, just some very interesting jasper and prairie agates.



We took a bit of a ride and came across this lady haying with horses. We stopped and asked if she would mind if we took her picture. You don't see this every day!! Doug loves taking pictures of old homesteads. It makes us both think about the families that once lived there.
