Well, we went up Shell Falls in the Bighorn Mountains, but it was closed off for winter. So we came back down the mountain and took Saoirse to the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite. She loved digging in the dirt for gryphaea, belemnites and crinoids. Didn't find any amazing specimens, but still found a lot for a heavily picked over area. This spot is a hotspot for gryphaea. Millions still litter the ground. Plus it has a giant dinosaur tracksite that you can walk down to and touch. And while eating dinner in Greybull we ran into two of my old teachers that I have seen in almost 20 years. That was neat introducing them to my family.
Going down Shell Canyon. Unfortunately due to the weather I couldn't get any good pics of the mountains from the base, but I got this going down.

A few of the fossils Saoirse and us found. Gryphaea, belemnite pieces, a clam on a rock, crinoid pieces and the star shaped center of a crinoid.
