November 17, 2005 - Having a Great Time Hunting Ice Age Fossils in Arcadia, FL
Here I am sitting at a computer in The Snowbird's Hall at the Peace River Campground in Arcadia, FL. It is one of the prettiest places in Florida. I am surrounded by friends, Creation Expeditions, which is the homeschool family that found the Allosaurus, "Ebenezer," made famous by the video "Raising The Allosaurus".
It is Thursday evening and very soon we will begin a weekend filled with friendship, fossils, and fun. The Peace River Fossil Float begins Thursday evening with an introduction to the Ice Age and Ice Age fossils (including Saber-Tooth cats, Giant Ground Sloths, and many others), Friday we have a shore dig, and Saturday we take a canoe trip down the Peace River stopping along the way to dig for fossils. It is one of the only opportunities I know of for homeschool families to be able to learn about and hunt for Ice Age fossils, and everything is done from a Biblical Creation and family-friendly standpoint. For more information on trip dates and costs, please visit Creation Expeditions' website.
