In our quest for rocks from across the country to place in our Rock Map back at the Farm, we stopped for the night at the A & A RV Park Campground which was near the Mesa Verde National Park.

We participated in an unusual event at the RV park.  In late afternoon, all who wished to join hopped into a trailer hooked behind an antique 1942 tractor and proceeded down a dirt road behind the RV park on a fossil hunt.  After some hard digging, we turned up a few small fossils.  

Later, when we described our Rock Map project, one of the owners of the RV park was kind enough to donate a magnificent fossil he had found earlier at the digging site.  This specimen is now proudly displayed at the Farm in the Rock Map.

While in the Mesa Verde area, we also found some other interesting assorted rock gems. rf15.jpg (14418 bytes) rf16.jpg (18698 bytes)
