Haven't heard from you in awhile.... Guess you are like us---busy traveling/hiking....<br /><br />You found some very interesting artifacts on this trip... Somehow---I doubt that those initials were 'really' done in 1844---but maybe I'm wrong. <br /><br />I do love the old trough... That does look fairly old. And those fossils are amazing... <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.... And keep on traveling and taking us with you.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953120750947919339.post-78657168670159577682010-08-10T20:20:25.438-06:002010-08-10T20:20:25.438-06:00What an interesting post this is , Janie.

Now you'll just have to check family trees in the neighborhood to see if you can match the initials. (Unfortunately, that's quite a lot of ground to cover.)

As you ...Ah Janie, you live quite an enviable life. As you can see, I don't get much time for everything these days, but when I come to visit you... there's always some interesting surprises laid in the offing. Consider yourself blessed to be able to stumble on this excellent find.<br /><br />When you noted about the "sea shells on top of the mountain", the picture reminds me of one of the town in Central West Tableland on the western part outside Sydney.<br /><br />There is this place called <a href="http://www.ageoffishes.org.au/index.html" rel="nofollow">Canowindra</a> located in the middle of New South Wales. Here is a link of an interesting story that you may give light to your question how these sea shells get on top of that mountain of your personal discovery.<br /><br />Then please go to read the link Discovery you will find below the HOME next to the About Us Link. Very unusual!<br /><br />How time spans and evolved revealing us some wonders so incredible to see right in our own eyes just as what you have found over there.<br /><br />With your personal experience in your daily trail, you might end up sitting as a Board of Director in one of your Museums one day. We can never tell. <br /><br />Your passion for sharing us your experiences that none of us can compare is so beyond my grasp. The information you passed down to us is just overwhelming and breath-taking.<br /><br />Thank you for the honour of visiting my senseless rambling.Indayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591131757572208375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953120750947919339.post-46515340290421643542010-08-07T22:44:38.222-06:002010-08-07T22:44:38.222-06:00Very nice!!!!!!!!!!Very nice!!!!!!!!!!ma thet zinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327188242012955296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953120750947919339.post-1846042812965294212010-08-07T12:26:05.410-06:002010-08-07T12:26:05.410-06:00What unusual finds Janie.
