Dinosaurs

On our second day with Dan and James they gave us a list of things to check out while they were at work and the one we decided on was Dinosaur footprints.

We drove off the main road onto a dirt road then drove and drove some more till we reached a little gazebo with some signs and a boardwalk. It was pretty amazing that anyone found these footprints way out here but it's cool they did and that they are being studied and preserved for us all to enjoy.
Dan and James warned us that at first you don't see the footprints but when you do finally start to see them you realize they are everywhere. And sure enough once we figured out exactly what we were looking for we could see them all around us. They still aren't sure what type of dinosaurs made the footprints but these footprints are putting a whole spin on the dinosaur world changing where and when it was thought certain dino's lived. These prints are 167 million years old and back then this area of Wyoming was a shoreline looking out into the Ocean. The thought of it all is pretty amazing.
