Mostly book learnin'. :)

Can you believe - I've been in Oregon for 6 years now and have not made it to John Day Fossil beds even once? I know, it's pitiful.

I think it all started when I found my first arrowhead at 6 years old. I've been facinated by ancient cultures ever since.
Love the natural history stuff too. I sliced into a chunk of quartz and found tiny leaves imbedded inside. I found a huge chunk of chalk on the oregon coast that looked like it had a bone sticking out of it. After researching it, I found out it was actually formed the same way lava tubes are, very cool.
