WIPS is going to Texas!

WIPS is preparing to travel to Texas!  We'll go through Kansas and Oklahoma on the way out, and New Mexico on the way back to Colorado.  There are so many places to go, we'd need weeks to get to them all.

Fortunately, we have the aid of the Dallas Paleontological Society (http://www.dallaspaleo.org/).  Through emails, we've learned about places to go, people to see, and things to do - even if the weather isn't suitable for fossil hunting. 

As of this posting the itinerary has this shape:

Day 1 - Saturday, April 6, 2013

• Sternberg Museum, Hays, KS
• Leaf fossils in Ellsworth County, KS
• Turitella at Kanopolis, KS

Day 2 - Sunday

• Pennsylvanian marine, Cowley County, KS
• Trilobites, White Mound, OK

Day 3 - Monday

This is not carved in stone, it's still being updated.  We'll soon have the night stops so hotel reservations may be made.
