Day 4: First Full day in Seymour! (Eli L)

Our first full day in Seymour it was to be filled amazing adventures. We started the day with breakfast at the rock INN café. Ironically our first day in town it would take us through through the town of Jacksbrough to visit an exposed shale face for some above ground fossil hunting. We spent three hours searching for Corals, Gastropods, Amenities, and Natalids. After sack lunch at the cars we drove back to Seymore to clean up. After that we stopped at Whiteside Natural History Museum, over the next hour two hours every visited the exhibits and tour the fossil prep lab. We left Whiteside played a short game of poker at the Motel. We met up with Chirs ant Holly for dinner at a local BBQ joint.
