Jurassic Park

Went to Dance Bayou to sample soil carbonate. Forgot my camera but my field assistant Markus brought his. I stole these from him. I needed a field assistant in case I got bitten by a snake. There were no snakes cause the Bayou was totally dry. However, the GPS coordinates were wrong, and off by a lot, and the wells were unmarked. I was glad Markus was there cause he actually tripped over the wells and that's how we found them, in a sea of palms, the same height as the wells, after three hours of looking.
True story, I think Dance Bayou is a land lost in time. It is the Carboniferous. I wouldn't be surprised if I was walking around down there and stumbled on a dinosaur. Here are some photos

Apparently i am "intently stabbing things" or sampling soil gas.
