Steve D. Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Howdy all! I'm super excited about this and I'm looking for expertise and knowledge from all of you! I'm working in Chapel Hill, NC next week and I've paved out a day to FINALLY visit GMR!!! I'm a total noob to this area and what to expect. I've been doing research but I would humbly ask you all about your experiences, local knowledge, where to park (safely), points of entry, tools to bring (i have an good idea), areas to avoid, concerns, etc... I'm doing this alone unfortunately but that also adds to the adventure! I still haven't found my meg yet and it will be sometime before I'm able to get back out to Brownies Beach or Calvert any time soon... SO! I'm really eager to make this visit a great work out and to find some awesome treasures to share with my little boys! I wish they were old enough to come with me!

caldigger Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Actually small kids make some of the best fossil hunters...their field of vision is much closer to the ground to spot the good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
