Aurora Fossil Festival/Final PCS Hunt of the Spring

I would like to thank PCS for their efforts this season to provide a collecting area for us.  I saw a lot of nice teeth (most paid for with muscle aches and sweat based on the holes they came out of) this season.

After recovering from the fossil festival the day before everyone was excited to learn we would access a "new" area utilizing a ramp built less than a week before.  As it turns out the ramp was unstable and not safe for the large group of collectors/festival volunteers.  The starting gun sounded and the rush was on to be the first one to cross the old boundary stakes into the new area.  Unfortunately it would not be that easy.  After some serious engineering the new area was accessed around noon.

Before I made it far into the new area Scubapaul made good on his "Donkey Kong" comment and found a nice chub on a pedestal.  I headed East to the boundary then started South.  My mistake!  The new boundary was the less weathered material and I didn't find much for almost an hour.

Once I got to the South high wall I turned back West and started finding good teeth.  I quickly found a nice upper mako, and worked some awesome Pungo finding a few nice chubs and small meg until I ran out of water in my camelbak.  I made it to the ramp with a splitting headache as my reminder to leave earlier next time!
