Vacation Day 1

Today’s main point of attraction was a visit to the Sterling Mine Museum. The tour took about two hours. They have a great museum and some excellent geological specimens. We purchased a few agate slices to make a wind chime.

The most impressive part of the visit was in a non-descript area of the property. Embedded in concrete with a small plaque at the base was one of the twisted steel beams from the World Trade Center.
