Yesterday we went for a road trip with our friends, the Horns, through Spanish Fork canyon to do some fossil hunting. Thad found a couple of awesome shells, I found a grasshopper-looking fish thing, and my friend Christie found a perfectly formed (and fossilized) fish along with some plants and other unidentifiable but definitely authentic fossils. Thad even found some mud along the way! What good explorers!
On the way back, we stopped at the ghost town of Thistle. It was destroyed in 1983 when there was a huge mudslide that dammed up the river that flooded the town. The floors of the houses are still under water!
