Stel,

 

It must be nice to be that close to the lake to take a "field trip" to! I got a 5 hr drive to lake erie and a 9 hr drive to lake michigan. You guys up north get to have all the fun dry.gif

Stel, if you guys are looking for fossils next time, go to the Medusa Cement plant in Charlevoix. My daughter and I found 6 awesome fossils in about 10 minutes there. You might even find a Petosky or two!

 

My buddy has a house about 10 miles east of Elk Rapids, beautiful country up there, were you at the county park at the junction of US31 and M88?

Hey Airhead,

We weren't at a county park. We were in between some houses on the lake. Think it was a mini park for the neighborhood. I should go looking for petosky stones. That would be cool to find some.
