Bones to Water

This week we visited another bone 🦴 site, “yay”. This one was mostly mammoths 🦣 and not Woolly mammoths, well there were two Woolly mammoths but Colombian mammoths were the most common there.

Devil’s Tower

Yesterday we arrived at what I have always felt was the real gateway to a Western adventure, sorry St. Louis.

A friend told us that if we were going to Nebraska we had to plan a stop at the Ashfall Fossil Beds. We are really glad he reached out to us! The fossil beds were discovered in 1971 when the jaw bone of a prehistoric rhino was discovered by a Paleontologist studying the geology in
