At lunchtime, James Lamb made the rounds of flags where members had marked fossil finds, with many of us tagging along to learn the proper scientific names (or at least hear them said out loud!), and see if what we found was actually fossil material!
08-06-vl-cool-off-267
We had an area designated as the "Cool Off Station" stocked with cold drinks and fans, manned by Greg, where members dropped off their ice chests and retreated when they got too hot. If you look carefully, you can see coolers hung in the trees, in an attempt to keep out the fire ants. Thanks to Don, who brought popsicles for everyone to enjoy! There was a great view of the gullies from this vantage point.
