Today I decided it was time to get out of the house and some fresh air. I took my two youngest boys to the town of Chittenango. We visited Chittenango Creek which is a popular fishing spot as well as Chittango falls state park. While I wasn't planning on a fossil hunt, we did stop at a roadcut that I have driven by many times. It turns out that it appears to hold some goodies despite the fact that the shale is very fragile. While we were there we were also able to enjoy some of nature's living gems as well.
