Fossils and Fishing

Taking a break from the race to our closing date, we took our friends Liz & Andy Clark down to Calvert Cliffs for a day of fishing and fossil hunting.

Andy grew up in Portland, and has done a lot of salmon fishing on the rivers out west. Liz is from upstate NY, and like me, up for an adventure.

We anchored the boat offshore and waded to the fossil beach. It's easy to find scallops and other pre-historic marine fossils at Calvert Cliffs, but sharks' teeth are the real prize. Shawn, who cut his teeth picking up arrowheads in East Tennessee, found a couple.





Shawn did a great job making sure everyone -- even me -- caught fish.
