Fossil Hunting & Geocaching

Decided to do some geocaching and fossil hunting of our own before the concert in the caves.

we head back to the river near the caves, since we've hear it was a good place for fossils

i like the river, so I took lots of photos of it.

 
take a step back?... ok... yikes!

christopher wants a close-up look of the river too.

looking down river at the bridge.

 
and they are quickly spotted.

 
sam is good at finding them, while christopher just picks up random rocks.

but the kids stop and smile for the camera.

back to fossil hunting!

it's hard work!

we head down river, and see one of the cave entrances.

fall colours.

interesting rock formations/ erosion patterns

a different angle of the same rocks

treasures & fossils found... it's time to head over to the caves

hmmm... maybe we will find a different entrance.
