"A Friend For Tea"
Teableau for 06/29/25

I was having tea on the balcony when a little bug flew into the cup. I fished it out, blew gently to dry it, and set it on the rails to go its own way. Its own way was, apparently, right back into my teacup. I guess it liked tea.

Jadeite rock outcrop at Clear Creek, near Paicines, California. BLM Clear Creek Management Area is home to many different types of minerals and metals. Jadeite is common, and Mercury and Asbestos (Serpentine) were mined and quarried at CCMA, on a huge scale. This is an outtake from the upcoming YouTube video covering our visit to CCMA. #offroad #dirtroad #bureauoflandmanagement #jadeite #serpentine #mypubliclands #ccma #clearcreekmanagementarea #offthebeatentrack #fourwheeltravel
