A beautiful day for Rockin' in the Swamp


"Line the kids up over there, pull the covers off of the Gold Mine and rush them through; that's why it's a 'Gold Rush' ". There was much enthusiasm over picking up chunks of pyrite.

That white pile of limestone had lots of fossils for the kids to search out... and no age limit on the "kids" who could hunt through it... I found a nice spiral shell. There were wonderful displays set up in the Nature center, too... folks from the Gem and Mineral society, LSU Geology, artists and crafters, and others. I resisted my urge to climb the Rock Wall.
