Amazing family visit happening at Star Mt. this week. Anne, Jean, and Justine are here from Seattle. That's the famous Crystal Mill above which was a jeeping day trip for all of us. We're trying to cram in all things fun while they're here.
Zipped into CB after stopping at the magic spring first. The Stash was calling and there was a nice Sunday farmer's market as well. Anne was eyeing the oxygen bar too but sadly a note on door said closed and be back later.
The new patio is sure getting a lot of use. Great decision Mark! I get credit for the bug zappers although we haven't really had any bugs to speak of to zap - fun anyway.
Our day trip to Crystal and Marble was a big success. Jeeping up to Crystal Mill, Mark fishing a bit in Crystal river (that's Jean walking the river looking for Mark's location), and seeing the gorgeous marble that the town was named after was impressive. Lincoln Memorial and tomb of the unknown soldier both were made from that marble. And that's the first "no Drones" sign I've seen. The world is just a bit different these days...
Lunch was excellent at the only place in town - Slow Groovin BBQ. We put this up against most barbecue places we've been too. And of course we had to have wildlife along the way back. That's Jean's photo of the bear. He had a very long lens to snap the photo after Mark (eagle eye man) saw the bear from a good distance away. And lastly, a herd of sheep wandering all over the road to round it out. All agreed a good day.
Next, lessons on shooting a bb gun. That bb gun of Mark's is ancient but still works just fine. We had some good target shooters in the bunch too. I was the only one who didn't participate but maybe next time. That's all for now folks. I'll be back with part 2.
