JohnJ Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 For those that do not have "tracking" devices on my vehicle, or Dan's, you can read about our latest adventure in A Burning Road and The Dead Cow. Thanks for taking a look. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 i thought for a minute that you were going to have dan take the paleoknife and cut up the snake with it and tenderize the meat with the mosavert and then eat it raw like sushi. that's what me and tj woulda done. <smiling sarcastically> good story.

edjcate Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I am so jealous! Reading your adventure almost makes me want to ditch work and go on a month long fossiling trip! I can do without the snakes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 somehow the thought of john and dan heading out on a foray makes me want to want to frantically dial 911. i can picture them blazing through the bush so fast that poison ivy vaporizes from friction heat as they zoom by it. snakes all snap at them and hurt themselves when their mouths snap shut on where the feet were. i was going to go on and on with this, but i'm already tired.

Terry Dactyll Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 WOW Guys.....

JohnJ Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks for the comments, everyone. Trips are not always successful in terms of Finds, but there is always an opportunity for me to learn something new. Lpiney - probably; location, context and flaking appear to match. Jax - no problem...it's in the vehicle that stays at home.

Crinoid Queen Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 WOW those are some nice artifacts. I wish i could go there! All i have is a few little junky arrow heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 WOW those are some nice artifacts. I wish i could go there! All i have is a few little junky arrow heads. Maybe, you have not read enough to appreciate your "little junky arrowheads". For instance, you've probably handcrafted something in your life and appreciated it for what it is. The same is true of your "arrowheads"...someone made them and probably used them. In addition to that, you have in your possession something made by someone several thousand years ago (making some assumptions about size, location, and form). So, let's reserve the word "junky" for things without any value, not the treasures you have.

lordpiney Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 WOW those are some nice artifacts. I wish i could go there! All i have is a few little junky arrow heads. i think they are quite nice! in fact the little one at the bottom right looks like it's fluted. it may be a clovis point reshaped into another point by a later culture. that would make your junky arrowhead into a very rare point indeed!

lordpiney Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Lpiney - probably; location, context and flaking appear to match. cool. i have a frame of texas points, mostly perds, but i have a perfect pelican and a real nice allen in it too. keep finding the good stuff bro.

tracer Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 he's partially right, nicholas. you need to move somewhere others have heard of. but not texas - we're full. everyone from california and florida came here. john just hasn't figured that out yet because he lives in the middle, but they're headed his way. i told them he's giving away coozies.
