I got a postcard in the mail today, reminding me of my ten-year high school reunion. After looking at the class picture, it seems like much longer ago than ten years. I have no desire to actually go to the reunion, since I’m still in contact with the people I really wanted to stay in contact with. But it might be fun to go anyway, as long as the rest of my friends from high school will be going too.
The hike I took today out by Mounds was pretty nice. I parked my truck on the southeast end of the reef and hiked northwest about six miles along the edge of the reef, then walked back to the truck on the dirt road for about three miles. I didn’t find any cool fossils like I’d hoped to, but I did find a lot of small ones like I found last weekend. I also took some pretty nice pictures, and saw eight antelope–they startled me by running out across the road from behind a hill about 100 yards ahead of me, and I stopped the truck and they eventually stopped to look back at me. I sat and watched them through binoculars for five minutes, then headed back up the road towards home. I wish I could have stayed out longer, but the temperature was just starting to dip below freezing when I got home, so I suppose it wasn’t a bad idea to leave early.
