If you've ever been through Delta, UT, on your way to the UDig site, you probably weren't too impressed with the town. It's a sleepy, almost catatonic, town of about 5,000 if memory serves. Just big enough to provide the basics of food, lodging, and gas as well as some community activities for the predominately farming families. (And a place I have seriously considered retiring too ) But, turns out they have a pretty cool little museum there. I have not visited said museum in person (didn't know it existed the handful of times I passed through) but stumbled across it on the internet. You may find something there you like, but I am mainly posting this for the Harris Fossil Collection they have. They have a very nice photo gallery which is what the link is to. But don't stop there. I also suggest you take a look at their "Articles" section. The area has connections to C.D. Walcott and "Dinosaur" Jim Jensen and also has articles about local history. http://greatbasinmuseum.com/index.php/photo-galleries/gallery/5-harris-collection-fossils#fwgallerytop

We are planning our summer fossil trip and debating between Delta, Utah and Kemmerer, Wyoming. Does anyone have thoughts? I'd like to visit both some day but will only be able to do one of them for this trip. We will have a 5 year old and an 8 year old with us but I think they would like either one of them. Thanks in advance for any help!
