Just got back from our Montana visit with family, rock and fossil hounding.. Took our 10 year old granddaughter with us too.. We hit Yellowstone Park,hounded the lower Yellowstone river,by Livingston,than headed to Roundup,MT. Visiting family,plus fossil hounding with my Uncle Dick. He was one of my three menters (Uncles) for me in the early 1960's.. Dick is 82 years old and still hounding.. We did great.. Photos coming soon... PS: Nice to be home though.. LOL

I was expecting a picture heavy trip report. Dang it, breakfast is over and now I have to go back to work without any good Montana rock porn. Have to do employee evaluations. If they all get bad marks, its on you

Yes,all Uncles and all my Dad's Brothers,but one,he is married to Dad's sister...They taught me hounding rocks,fossils,arrowheads, a few other traits...LOL Only one Uncle left,that's Uncle Dick. He is pretty known in the fossil world for his prized fossils he finds,works and sells.. Has pieces in the Smithsonian Museum,all over Europe and South America,Africa and a few other places.. Good friends with Harmon's,Larson brothers,and many more rock authorities.. We hounded the areas that are off limits to most people in Montana,his name packs a good reputation... Photos will follow,just kind of burned out a bit from driving,decompressing is on the way-a few days of doing nothing,should help....LOL
