I had to rest up for 5 days after this trip. My health isn't what it used to be and this trip kicked my you know what! Had an absolute freakin good time though! Made some new freinds also, been a long time since that has happened. I did very little actual fossil hunting. I did end up in a ditch looking for crab concretions, found none and had to crawl out on my hands and knee's just to get out of the ditch and back onto the road. Before this stroke thing, I could have simply walked up and out of that ditch like it was nothing, but it was sooooooooo nice to be outdoors again! Dont you fellow fossil hunters ever take your health for granted!!! I did get some crab concs but I had to buy them. Luckily I have friends in Washington. I also met up with a guy that I found on the internet and had a really great time with him and bought and traded for some agatized Aturia and agatized clams. Some really beautiful stuff!!! And to top it all off, I came home with a trailer full of wood to use in my smoker. Luckily my middle son came with me and did most of the work. Made for a most wonderful trip. Oh, also, whilst at my buddy's house he gave me a broken open crab concretion that he didnt want. It does need some repair, but if it has legs, it will be a good crab. RB
