First we need the canoe way down the bluff to the river bank so we can paddle downstream. Well, now wait a minute. This river has always been much higher, all the way into the weeds, and you couldn't walk here, summer nor winter. What's going on here? We don't need the canoe after all!

Forget that, look at the size of that permineralized tree trunk!

Tree trunk breaking into pieces on the bank. Numerous pieces like this were scattered everywhere.

Shells and echinoids in matrix. These rocks are pretty hard, so these were left in place.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, look what they've gotten me into now! Just getting started up the steep bank. Worn out from the distance already covered, and soaking wet from the recent rain shower. But it was fun, and we had our adventure for the day!
