After Jon displayed his lack of buggers, Gabe promptly caught a tiger muskie in lake Curlew when we got there to camp. It was our base camp for the next few days of digging.
During the dig we had an up close visit from a local resident...
Above is the upper section of the dig site where we found most of the fossils we brought home. After digging for a few hours we delivered our treasures to the scientists for evaluation. If we found something unusual they would document it and swoop it away to be evaluated and possibly displayed in the Burke Museum in Seattle. Both Grandpa Don and I has a sample fossil taken for research.
Here is Gabe sitting outside the mercantile eating an ice cream cone.
It was a great trip with Grandma and Grandpa to the high mountain area of north-east Washington.
