Todd's Treasure

This past weekend, while on our adventures, midMan decided he wanted to get a Trilobite. So we traveled 32 miles west of Delta, UT and finally found the road we needed to take. We only found the road because of this big huge sign, we actually almost missed it because the road we were traveling was so long and so straight and so boring. midMan even said, "I'm gonna put the truck on cruise, just wake me up when we get there.'


As you can see from the sign we still had another 20 miles to travel, this time down a dirt road. The road was actually very well maintained, but gosh, we sure are traveling quite a long way for a Trilobite.

We finally reached the community dig site and away midMan went, he was in hunting mode. Now hunting mode is like walking down a tunnel and you see nothing but your quarry, whether that is a Deer, an Elk, a rabbit, or a Trilobite. midMan was definitely in the zone. tailEnd just stood back and watched as his dad pounded away at the rocks, no shovel needed. Actually tailEnd was trying real hard to supervise, but he soon gave up, just as I did, because when midMan is in the zone he does not take note of, or hear anything or anyone else. We just love him so much!!

JACKPOT!!!!!

and

TREASURE!!!!!
(even though it's only about the size of midMan's thumb nail)

midMan did better than tailEnd and I. I gave up, I wasn't feeling to good and it was hot. Poor, poor pitiful me. And tailEnd did find the shovel and was pretty excited about that, now he has a start to that pile of tools that all men have in their possession. midMan was excited about his Trilobite but I think next time we will plan on visiting the U-Dig Fossils site, find out information HERE, instead of just going to the community site.

Love to All,
