More Montana

Some of the fun and wacky people at our daily before dinner cave conference. Most of the time we actually discussed the day's events at the dig, but sometimes we got a bit off track and just chatted about whatever.

Zee archaeologists francaise, working at zee excavations. Hehe Actually it's Stephie, Cameron and Heather working in the "garbage dump" moments before we all strangley developed French accents.






One of Rich's ever-present goats greeting me as I emerged from the very odiferous Lion Cave. Previous excavations had been done here, but on our hike we weren't equipped to go in much farther than daylight could reach.

Aaaaaahhhh....Montana

Well, I don't know where to start! I could go on for hours about my vacation to Montana last week, but that would probably get boring. I am a believer in the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" - well, at least if it's a good picture. So here are a few pics with short captions so you know what they are.

Ranch owner and cave discoverer Tag Rittel with his dog Kelly telling us about the Medicine Wheel and the history of the Native Americans in the area.

This shot is a little blurry because of the low light, but it shows two levels of the excavations in the cave.
