Ron and I are camping by Rapid City while he gets to do his dental work - 3 teeth pulled and 1 crown - ouch! Meantime, we've also been doing a little gold prospecting. Saturday we joined the Black Hills Prospectors and my first bucket of the day produced this little gold picker - look closely in the black rubber of the sluice! Lots of nice sized flakes too. Very good day! I have to show you the flowers in my garden and yard. We have awesome columbine and irises this year because of all the nourishing rains; also we have lots of flowers that are growing wild in our yard too - the blue flax, dames rocket, western salsify, and textile onion. John and Elizabeth came for a day to look for petrified wood - they were fun to watch as their geologist' side kicked in and their eyes focused right in on those puppies. I wasn't aware of how much petrified wood was in our area! David stopped by the campground for a bike ride - we had fun biking to Keystone, but as you can see, the clouds were building for our daily afternoon thundershower and we got to bike back up those big hills in the rain (but we weren't sweet enough to melt!!). It was a good workout.
