Nando... Really looking forward to meeting you and Diana! For whatever reason, it has been somewhat difficult finding couples that want to go fossil hunting... either single dude or single gal... (Gee maybe I should start an online dating site for singles looking to meet other fossil hunters??)

You might find the gender pools to be somewhat out of balance.....best to bring 'em in from the outside.......

Not yet, but I'm hoping this weekend. It was raining something fierce last time we got together, so we went to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D instead!
