Horse Thief Canyon......
After much searching for a good fossil fossicking spot that wasn't on private land or have signs posted "no tresspassing"....... We drove up the hill to Horse Thief Canyon.....most people only go up there to look out......not us......we climbed down the canyon with gusto......fossils await!!! We scrambled down through the (currently) dried up creek, watching our footing in case the ground gives way below us, to the bottom of the canyon. The canyon got its name from some unscrupulous fellows hiding horses up in the many recess'.........Vin takes us to all the posh places!?! We spent the next six hours searching for fossils......Vin determined to find a dinosaur & get his name up in lights at the Tyrrell Museum........lucky we had taken supplies! At one point Vin says we will take a particular ravine as he can "sense a dinosaur"........Josie, trudging behind, mumbles "I am sensing I need a seat"!!! We did find some great fossils.... plant, insect, fossilised wood.....and possibly ( Possibly??DEFINITELY!) some dinosaur bones...... |
We made it out alive!!!!....................... the end of our trek...............
