Is this Heaven?

This is my 1st trip to PCS and I have to say thanks to the mine and also to BRF for allowing me to hunt this past weekend. I had a great time. Met some great people, and found some firsts for my collection. No monster Megs up I did get my 1st Cow Shark, 1st Porpoise tooth, a couple nice Makos and a really nice Sand Tiger in Matrix. After the hunt I met Obsessed1 and Toofless at the Spoil Piles around Aurora. We started talking and realized we where all members of this site.  I guess BRF is home to some hardcore collectors. After 8 hours on my hands and knees I spent another hour or so at the spoil piles. I just could'nt get enough. Too bad the musuem was closed. Can't wait to go back!!!
