Lodging:
You will receive five days of fossil collecting with six nights of
lodging at either the ranch house or the rustic cabin. Both are fun to stay in (much better than a tent and sleeping
bag at other digs).
Food:
All food is supplied by us. Breakfast is an outdoor cowboy breakfast, a
little different each day (Bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits, scrambled eggs, etc.). Each day lunch will be brought to you
at base camp. Lunch is usually sandwiches, chips and fruit. Dinners may run from hamburgers, Bar-B-Q, chili, steaks or other
hearty foods. Trust me, you will like it.
(If you have special dietary needs, see contract)
Education:
There are nightly slide shows, exhibits and Identification of your treasures. How-to classes in the field and at night show
how to stabilize, dig and excavate the fossils you find. These classes include information on plaster jacketing as well as
final preparation of your fossils.
Equipment:
We supply each individual with their digging supplies for
the five day dig. You will be supplied with: pick belt, hand pick, shiv and scabbard, walkie talkie. pick hoe, collection
belt bag, heavy duty foil, stabilizing materials, plaster and burlap.
The items that you should bring yourself are detailed
in the contract section.
Entertainment:
There is local Entertainment one night a week when available.
We enjoy bond fires, star gazing and camp fire talks. There is a last night blast in our amphitheater/barn with preview of
a video of your trip. Wednesday evening: Cowboy church service.
(Special notice concerning weather conditions)
PaleoDigs is not responsible for inclimate weather. It is very dangerous to collect on these formations when they are
wet. These formations are made up of volcanic ash deposits and become the consistency of peanut butter when wet. Vehicle movement
is also prohibited. Also, the lightening strike probability is very high.
PaleoDigs shall close all access to the exposure while such unsafe conditions exist.
