fossilover Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 After reading a post about collecting fossils on here at 3 am this morning, I seriously started debating whether I should get up and go to my favorite fossil-hunting site. I had envisioned bringing a flashlight with me and everything. Well, fatigue started to set in and I ended up going to bed. I woke up still thinking about going fossil hunting. I had an appointment to get to, so I got ready and started driving there. I almost got to what I thought was my destination, when I suddenly realized I was driving to my fossil-hunting location and NOT to my appointment! I ended up being a half hour late because I drove to the wrong side of town. Has this happened to any of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten lost a time or 2 driving to a location and get to checking out road cuts, and missed some turns, end up 30 out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get to one of the sites i managed at my last job i had to turn down a certain road off of the main drag. What used to be one of my favorite fossils sites was the turn right before this one on the main drag. I can remember at least three times where i got over half way down the road to the fossil site(about 30 min) before i realized i wasn't heading to work.

I don't feel so bad now. Bet you had a hard time explaining that one to the boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
