I made it by the skin of my teeth

I had been watching the water levels in the Peace River all week. Even with a couple decent rain showers during the week the level remained doable for some snorkeling. I got up and got my gear together and packed a cooler and then headed out for my coffee before heading over to the river. The weather looked gorgeous. Nice and sunny and perfect for lighting up the bottom for some fanning.

I got the car parked and got all of my stuff together and made my way over to the water. The river seemed a little deeper than what I remembered from the last time I went. I decided to go back to my honey spot that I had been working the previous week. Right off the bat without having to do any fanning I found a nice 1.5 inch tooth laying amongst the algae-covered rocks. I grabbed my camera to have on hand for any future finds. I was fortunate enough to get some of my better finds on camera.

The hunting was decent in terms of fragments. I didn't find too many whole teeth this trip but I made a couple nice finds. I also managed to find a complete, what I'm guessing is a foot bone of some sort. I also found a nice piece of fossilized wood, a sweet horse tooth, a nice fragment of mastodon molar enamel and an armadillo scoot. Toward the end of the hunt I noticed the sky had darkend and thunder was booming off in the distance. I figured I had better hurry and get back to the car. Just as I started driving the sky opened up and the rain began to really pour. The lightning was so bad I even saw a lightning bolt hit a power pole! I had never seen that before. The trip wasn't as long as I would have liked but I still had a good time.
