Fossil Fun


The most interesting trip you may ever go on would be the Biology fossil field trip. We departed school at 8:30 with two buses. Fun Fact: We saw Santa clause walking around in Richmond Indiana. The bus ride took around two hours. We arrived on highway 27 and got off the buses on the middle of the highway. The buses then left us to find fossils all by ourselves, although there were four chaperons to guide us across the busy highway. We spent about an hour searching for fossils on the very steep, dangerous, fossil-filled hill. Many people slipped and fell down the rocky hill. Hands dry and lips chapped from the blistering cold, we then loaded back on the bus to go find nourishment. Our options were McDonalds, Wendy’s, and Burger King. McDonalds was very busy. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to get your food, but in my opinion it was worth the wait. Although I have heard that a few people got sick from eating there. Then it was back on the road again for the very long bus ride home. Many people fell asleep on our way home, so it seemed a lot shorter than the ride there. We found this trip enjoyable and would gladly go on it again!
