    Oh Jeez, Another Outside thread from Pat!!!!!
    Ok, so I went to this place called Sulpher Mountain. Its a pretty steep hike with a lot of cool things along the way.

    Ever seen a Natural Crude Oil geyser? I have no idea what that white stringy shiny stuff is, but it was coating the bottom.

    Then among all that ugliness, beauty still grows!

    Then I found a fossil!

    This is not photoshopped. I dont know how it happened, but the bug seemed like it was glowing. I took four pictures of this bug, and this is the only picture that looked like this.

    Great pictures. I wonder if you can find out what that's a fossil of - that would be neat. Maybe there's a prof at a local university that could tell you? I don't know I'm just always curious about that kind of stuff!

    Hey maybe that clear blobby stuff in the oil is petroleum jelly? You know, Vaseline :D

    The clear stuff was water running on top of the oil. It collected in giant pools then would tumble down the side. Very Interesting, to find out what it is, its definitely a vertebrate. almost looks like a fish.

    I think the fossil was the coolest as well. No snakes all day, so the fossil was worth it!

    Crude oil oozing out of the ground in our backyard and we are paying out the cornhole for the same stuff from the middle east! NICE!
