Leadville in May 2009

For one of Brian's last Geology Labs he was required to develop and complete a geology based field trip, accomplishing specific criteria, which led him to cruise around Leadville's Mineral Belt trail pre-Spring snow melt.



Here's a view from the Mineral Belt Trail, looking West toward town. This building is the waste water treatment plant currently in use because of the richly mineralized soil contaminates leaching into the water.

A little air guitar solo from Zak!


Toby trying to understand why he can't go fetch the horse shoes after we toss them across the yard.




Tending to the stereotypical wifely duties, I meanwhile was running back and forth between the grill and the oven cooking organic burgers and oven-baked sweet potato fries!



Zak's birthday was May 2, so Brian made a cake in the shape of a Jack Daniel's Whiskey bottle, which if you know Zak, YOU KNOW how much he likes Jack! Zak was pretty pleased!
