Herkimer Diamond Mine


We ran up to the Herkimer Diamond mines for a weekend with the Colimore's in New York.
It was our first visit and we came prepared with hammers and other impliments
of destruction and had a really great time.


Yes, there I am in the middle of a bunch of rocks looking for diamonds. There more rocks you crush the more diamonds you find. Or so Sandi told me.


We had two sites side by side right on the river. Very small sights so good thing the Colimore's were our neighbors.



Need I say more? It is a wonderful river and I would look forward to going again and bring our canoe for a good run down.


Gee, the truck looks bigger than our Airstream!

Thanks to a customer of ours, Don and I were able to enjoy a very expensive bottle of beer together. Who ever knew a bottle of Belgium beer could cost so much?

I don't think Donal really believed us that there were diamonds in the rocks but he had a great time making gravel.

Stella was busy digging for diamonds but she never found any.

Sunday morning Don treated us to a wonderful Mother's Day breakfast.
