Exploring Abandoned Mines in Philipsburg Montana | R1200GS | Part I
Part I ----
Part II ----
After the Overland Expo I headed North to visit a work friend who lives in Philipsburg, Montana. I really enjoy the small towns of #Montana and I really enjoy the beer at the Philipsburg Brewery. My buddy is one of the owners at the brewery and just a great dude in general so a short visit is always a good time! During the day, I planned to shoot some #photography and explore the dirt roads, see the abandoned mines and just enjoy the #backcountry of Montana. I honestly don't think there is a bad part of Montana. The people of Montana are AMAZING! They are super down to earth and just stoked chat. The connection between towns is verey interesting bc when locals give you directions they often mention a place AND maybe who owns it and why that individual is a pillar of the community. I could go on forever about small-town Montana and Philipsburg but I'll end there. Go check it out!

FINDING SAPPHIRES - How To Identify the Good Wash | Liz Kreate
In prospecting for sapphires, finding the good wash or Ancient Wash is like finding the Holy Grail. Experience is the key to identifying this type of material. The wash is always laden with Spinel aka Black Jack which is the indicator for a good Sapphire bearing material. No Spinel equals No Sapphire. More spinel, more sapphires.

pictures of Virginia City Montana
Virginia City Montana is one of the gold rush cities. Its a place for any old west history buff. these are pictures I took on one of my trips there in August of 2009.
All of Montana has the deepest pride and affection for Virginia City. No more colorful pioneer mining camp ever existed. Dramatic tales of the early days in this vicinity are legion. Rich placer diggings were discovered in Alder Gulch in the spring of 1863 and the stampede of gold seekers and their parasites was on! Sluices soon lined the gulch and various cities blossomed forth as trading and amusement centers for free handed miners. Virginia City, the best known of these and the sole survivor, became the Capitol of the Territory.
The very much alive ghost town, Virginia City, Montana, is frozen in time. It is a remarkably well preserved old west Victorian gold mining town just 20 miles west of Yellowstone National Park (90 miles by road). When the gold ran out, there was still enough left so that homes and businesses were occupied, but there was not enough wealth to remodel the buildings. So it froze, and now represents the whole Victorian era. It is the true and original Old West. It is a gem, held within an incredibly rich area of natural beauty, recreation and history.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
