Welcome to Gaia! ::

Don't worry, I won't forget all the people I stepped over to get to where I am today!



No, I'm not going to be famous. Not yet anyway.

I have no idea when this episode is going to air. They haven't filmed the part that I'm going to be in yet.


Today was better than yesterday at least. Wasn't raining as much, and we didn't bother taking the steep muddy ravine down to the beach. We took the long way around, which may or may not have been shorter.
I still go pretty dirty though. There was mud everywhere. Still is, because I forgot to have a shower. Not that I'm wearing the same clothes or anything, of course.
I'm all sore though. There was a lot of shoveling today. A lot, a lot. Like, first we were digging random holes along the beach to figure out where this 200 million year old lake bed used to be. There's a line where the sandstone and mudstone are divided, and the dinosaur bones will be found along this line, apparently. So we were trying to find this line. That took awhile. Then when we found a good spot, we dug a huge trench, from the water, up to the cliff face. It was pretty long. Not super deep though.

After that we dug some more holes. Then we decided we'd let a stream do the work for us, so we blocked off all these different paths so that the water would all flow into one channel. So that it would erode down to the layer of sandstone/mudstone. That took a lot of work.

Then we were at the actual fossil site, and we were starting to dig that, but then we were at the end of the day. There's a lot of dirt. A huge amount. We're getting a small excavator to come in and remove as much as possible. Should save a lot of time.
