Jesse Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Is anyone else tired of being snowed in and stuck in the lab? I am so ready to go do some field work! Maybe another two months and I can go have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'm feeling your pain! Still 2 -3 feet of snow on the ground! It's melting,... but ,... much too SLOWLY! I guess we just have to hang in there! Keep on prepping/researching,... cataloguing! Whatever it takes!

Caleb Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 YES!! I have been waiting all winter to get out and find some more trilobites. A few weeks ago we had a huge thaw, and I was about to finally get out. The anticipation was almost unbearable and then we got another foot of snow . My father has a rock saw and I've been reduced to splitting the scrap at his place. I can not wait till I can finally get back out on the rocks!

Regards, We keep getting teased here, the snow will melt then we get another foot, melt 6 inches, add 3 inches, melt... I enjoy research and being snowed in with Helicoprions is not all that bad but I long to find more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Not cool!!! Not cool indeed, especially in the summertime which lasts somethinglike 9 months. Give me winter over eternal infernal summers anyday. Thanks for listening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boneman007 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 You guys aren't seeing the obvious! Come down to Texas to hunt now, and then invite me to come up there in August. That way be both get to hunt in the 70's in March and August! Of course if I have the choice, Ill pick being able to fossil hunt year around. You can hunt when it's 108, but not 8!!!

I beg to differ, as long as its not snow covered Id hunt in 8 before I'll hunt in 108..thats too hot. Other than rain on Mon its nice here in Tennessee. I may go hunting tomorrow!
