September, 2023

Greetings!  I hope you will enjoy your visit to this website. 

New items in all catalogs are listed in this color.

Thank you for all the orders recently. 

Don't miss out on the newest Cairncross mineral book which arrived here today, 6/16/2023.  This mineral book is very affordable.  Go to the Select Mineral book catalog for details.

We thought it was unusual while in Wyoming to have several antelope does came for separate visits to our property alone.  They like to travel in packs.  The does were apparently looking for an excellent location to give birth.

One baby antelope was born on our property on 6/5/2023.  Another had twins on 6/14/2023 (see below).  They have grown a lot in just 2 weeks. 

We were back in Louisiana by then, but our wonderful neighbor sent us pictures of both events.  The Mountain in the background is Heart Mountain.

Now its back to working on entering more new items in many catalogs.  And preparing for the next trip north.

I have started stocking Colorado USGS 1:24,000 maps this month.  Check out the beginning of something new.  Click on this Colorado 1 link and scoll down to this maps.  This will spread to another states soon.
