Friday morning, before our Sunday morning departure from Orange County, Kira is here helping me become more familiar with the new iPad which I am taking with me to write this bog. This I am attempting to accomplish at the same time I am doing laundry, watering the garden, packing and assuring the cat, that indeed, I will return. So much to do in so little time.
As this is somewhat of a practice entry, I beg your patience so just skim over the contents. Thanks.
I think I need to have Kira join me on this trip, because she is making very helpful editorial comments. In addition, she knows fabulous short cuts for making changes. I'm sure she would love to have the field experience: hot, dry temperatures, chance of thunderstorms, rattlesnakes, scorpions, dirt and dust everywhere, no shade and vegan meals. On second thought, I don't think it is the holiday of her dreams.
So, back to the business at hand. Laurel and I continue to compare notes on our packing lists, including the required protective clothing, tools, food and first aid kits. We will meet at the Orange County airport at 6:30 am on Sunday morning, and hope to arrive in Buffalo, South Dakota by 10:00pm. Our journey from Rapid City to Buffalo will include stops in Hill City at The Black Hills Institute and Everything Prehistoric to see the fabulous fossil collection, and purchase fossil penetrant stabilizer. We pay a visit to the Prairie Berry Winery for some local berry and grape wine, and "to go" dinner. Last stop in Rapid City is the Walmart for food, water and any items we might have forgotten. Given this long list, we hope our flights will be on time, and the weather cooperates, so we can have a smooth entry into our Summer adventure.
Wrapping up this update with a few photos of fossil finds from last year and the most recent progress on the Triceratops horn.
Cheers, and see you in the Hell Creek.
Christine, Momasaurus
