Today was the opening of the 2017 Mazon Creek Fossil Season at the Mazonia-Braidwood Wildlife Area which encompasses the famed Pit 11 (Essex Biota) . After major storms last night, I figured that I would drive the 50 miles from my house and collect at a location that is difficult to climb up to and ever harder to bushwhack through. I only go to this area at the beginning of the fossil season because of three reasons: First, there are no leaves on the trees / bushes, which makes it easier to see where you are going. Second, there are no ticks- at least I hope so and third, I have found Tully Monster (portions) here in the past. There are various locations around this area to collect, but I have always liked to collect near W 5000N Road which runs between the "Tipple Area" and "Monster Lake". Here is where I was collecting at today- it is a very steep hilly area. The V cut lake is "Monster Lake". Here is a view from the road of where I was heading to. Here is the view of my car from the top, this is where I started going up and down hills and gullies in search of concretions.
