Meeting with the Boss

It's been a couple of dry years.

Actually, the last 2 winters have been wet so it was my fossil acquisitions that dried up.

It was good to finally have a meeting with the boss:

The Peace River.

There was still enough water in the river,

that I was able to tow not only Pam in her kayak, but Tom in his canoe, as well:

It's super slow going with my tiny trolling motor,

but being towed slowly upstream after a long day of digging

 is better than paddling slowly upstream after a long day of digging.

I was getting my feet wet after being absent from the Peace for 2 seasons,

but managed to find some odds and ends.

A couple of those fossilized twigs I'm so fond of.

A big tooth in a piece of jaw, probably from a modern cow, 

and a modern mandible from some little critter.

Tom found a fantastic bobcat canine,

and he still says he wants to switch to a 1/2" screen.

Super chunky glyptodont scute, over 1" thick.

Turtle peace sign scute.

Another sad little meg for my sad little meg collection.

A group photo of the day's curiosities.

Happy fossilers, even facing the 2 hour drive home.

I think the big Slurpee truck behind Tom says it all.

A big boss salad with General Tso closes out the meeting.
