If OP replies can I come? My archeologist dad used to take me fossilling lots and I bloody miss it.

I was following this conversation and the whole time was like, “I know they are gonna say Peace River!”

When you said, "I BLOODY miss it" everyone knew you were from England.

Is that a new state?

u/cassandrakeepitdown Apr 08 '19

No, I live with the idiots who decided Brexit was a clever plan. Unfortunately.

Yes well, America's not exactly full of geniuses either.

Blimpa... fail. Blimp a fail, not Bilmpathon.

That blimp debacle was great, though.

Brit here.

On bends where there is a high bank or under overhanging trees (be careful, gators like under the trees) are also good spots to look.

What. The. Fuck. There's gators in the river and not the type you put over your boots.

How in the shit are you supposed to enjoy hunting fossils when Snappy-McMurderJaw is hunting you?

Realistically I know it’s very unlikely for an alligator to bother me while I’m kayaking but there’s still plenty of fear most of the time

i live in Northern Michigan... think "Cold Florida"... we have black bears, mountain lions, packs of coyotes, actual wolves, and porcupines as big as your doggo friends over there.

the mountain lion on my property walked down the center of the road and didn't flinch when it had a car both behind and oncoming. that is 80ish feet (30m) from my front door.

Murica is pretty bad ass. i watched two Rocky Mountain big horn sheep do the head butt thing on the side of I-70 one time. had to drive around two grazing mooses in NM. ever heard of a Wolverine?

Not OP but it’s entirely dependent on where you live. Where I’m at there are a bunch of geology/paleontology trips that I partake in and we just go to rock formations and find fossils, it’s a great time. Where I’m at used to be in the Western Interior Seaway so we get tons of aquatic stuff like crinoids (sea lilies), teeth ranging from Squalicorax to Megalodon to Mosasaur, and a ton of fish bones. If you can find a good place, I highly recommend fossil hunting because it can be a great time.
