Here in North Idaho we have two fun attractions that do not always get the attention they deserve both are near the small town of Clarkia. One is the
Fossil Bowl and the other is
Emerald Creek Garnet Area. If you have kids or like to dig in the dirt to find buried treasure then these activities are for you.
Here's a few of our fossil finds. You can take home as much as you want, there is no limit.
Dawn redwoods are often found.
Here's two halves to a leaf impression.
Another dawn redwood.
Off to the garnet area. Yes, we actually paid to dig in the dirt! LOL!
Cleaning our dirt in the sluice box with water to washing it away.
Picking through the remaining rock to find our garnet prize.
Here's some of the garnets we gleaned from our buckets of dirt. There are a couple in there over half an ounce in weight. What fun, this was a blast and I want to do it again before summer ends.
