Fossil Hunting in the Green River Formation

January 26, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Our bucket list camping trip in the summer of 2022 will long be remembered as perhaps our best ever. Yellowstone National Park has that affect on memories. And while Yellowstone was the certainly the centrepiece of the trip, our four hours hunting Green River Formation fossils at American Fossil Quarry were, without question, the highlight. […]

Rockhounding at Montana’s Crystal Park

July 29, 2022 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

What’s in a name? That which we call a park by any other name would look just as horrifying all dug up like a cratered exoplanet. Crystal Park in southwest Montana will challenge your every notion of a park. I’ve long questioned the presence of private cottages within provincial/national parks. But this? This is a […]

Grand Canyon Caverns – Everything to Know

April 30, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I used to love driving.  The longer the drive, the better.  The first time I drove out west, I made the 3700 km trek from St. Jacobs, Ontario to Chateau Lake Louise (Alberta) in two and a half days.  By myself.  Without cruise control.  The muscles in my accelerator foot hurt like hell by the […]

L’Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site – review

April 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Is it worth the drive?  That is the decisive question when contemplating a visit to L’Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site. At first blush, L’Anse Aux Meadows sounds like the most awesome historical place in North America.  I mean, come on, Vikings!  From one thousand years ago!  Muscular fighting men dressed in furs and metal, […]

Coffee Cove Seaside Retreat Part 2 – What To Do

March 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Mention a road trip to Green Bay and your friends will envision cheeseheads, Packers jerseys, and shotgunning Schlitz faster than a spirit-crushing Favre interception.  Understandable.  But in this case, completely wrong.  Let them have a couple more Schlitz and then tell them you were thinking more along the lines of sou’westers, kissing cod fish, and […]

Coffee Cove Seaside Retreat Part 1 – Where To Stay

March 11, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Family can make you do the most unexpected things, in no small part because they themselves do the most unexpected things.  Like moving to Newfoundland.  Nobody does this unless they’re moving back home.  Certainly not born and bred mainlanders, or so the legends (and more often than not, the facts) say.  But I have an […]
