sweeneyb Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would like to go to GMR on Saturday and always find fossiling more fun when I have someone else to go digging with. I am planning on being there all day so if anyone wants to join please let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Menser Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Don't forget to carry a lot of water. Temps are expected to be in the low 90's with a heat factor that could be triple didgets - which is why I won't be there. Good hunting! Be true to the reality you create.

Irradiatus Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hey folks, Since I work for the government, and Friday's a federal holiday, I'm considering heading to Aurora on Friday as well (I've never hit the museum pit). I'm pondering staying overnight and hitting GMR on Saturday. My plans are completely flexible. I don't really care where I go as long is I can hunt fossils. I'll be coming from Mebane (3+ hours away), though I plan on leaving as early as possible Friday morning. So yeah - I think I'd like to join you at GMR on Saturday. I've never been. It'll be just me, since the wife is busy. I guess I should probably pick up some waders? Is that even necessary? I have a tiny sifter, but it'll probably do.

Waders arnt entirely necessary, but you will definitely want shoes or sneakers to wear in the water since there is a lot of glass and other trash that could cause some problems. The waders were more for winter months when the weather/water was freezing. I still wear mine even though they have holes in them but I guess it is more out of habit then anything else. Other then that all you really need is a screen and a shovel, but I have extra of both of those if you want to borrow them. As far as the heat goes, I will be bringing a cooler with ice so your welcome to keep drinks in there. I have found that a cooler full of drinks and ice still floats on my screen as I drag it around the GMR. LOL. I will be in Aurora early, probably around 7am. DO, or do not. There is no try.

MikeDOTB Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Well, me and Irradiatus were there, didnt see or hear from sweeneyb though. Hope everything is alright. Auspex, with your reminder I threw my camera in my pack and remembered to get some pictures. Which until now I forgot where I put it and now have to go back out to the car because its still in my fishing vest. Pictures and trip report coming up! DO, or do not. There is no try.

Sorry for not getting back to you I ended up going to DC for the fourth of July and hit up Calvert Cliffs. Let me know if you want to go to GMR anytime soon. I am free all week.
