Words do not express how much fun we had last night at the In Stone Night Dig Tour. They were the BEST! Pictures don’t do it justice! Dean and his wife, Ayden and Grayson, and the rest of the staff were the Tops! They catered to our every need! When we arrived they greeted us and gave us a cup of fruit to snack on and gave us a stainless steel engraved water bottle with their logo and our names on them! They treated us like family. We dug in the layers until the sun started to set, had the best steak dinner with the best view over looking wyomings vast hills as far as I can see. They even went above and beyond to get me a birthday cake for my birthday for dessert. After the most beautiful sunset, we dug in the 18 inch layer and found the coolest fossils. The boys jumped in to help us hammer in the shims whenever we got tired, which was often. They cut and carried our findings. They even stayed longer so we found the BIG stuff. We dug until 1 am!!! Then we got to star gaze with zero light polluatin. There were the most stars I have ever seen. It was such a magical experience! They are so generous and caring!!!! We are only digging with them from now on!!!
