Clay

Yesterday we went to Summit mountain to get some clay.  There is a great road at Braffits Creek.  Someone was going to put in a sub division but ran out of money.  There is a road clear to the top and what a view!  We can see clear to the Gap and Cedar City. It was very nice up there. Not too much wind and very cool.  We found some clay and brought 5 buckets home.  Its in the dry state so it was easy to shovel into the buckets.  The picture is of Curt running the clay through a screen to get the rocks out.  He smashes it to make a  fine powder then he will add water.  This Summit clay fires a tan color and is really pretty.  Curt says that it is a little hard to throw, sorta like porcelain. 

Today is Fathers Day.   HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THERE. ESPECIALLY CURT AND MY SONS,  CLINT, MATT AND DANIEL!
