All Set to Go!!! (The "dig" site, part 1)

My quest is set to begin . All I need now are my trusty assistants... This could take longer than expected. Y'see, my assistants are loyal to me and are good friends of mine. One has a blog that is right here on the web. The other is a friend who goes to my school and will call him "David." ( for personal reasons. He may not want to be known on-line.) He's a loyal fossil hunter who loves animals and dinosaurs. That's it......I think. AAAAAHHHH!!!!! Hold on everyone! Something came up! Don't touch that!!!!!!!! Sorrryyy! We've got problems here! Later......!!

Quest begins

Ever since Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, it's been my goal to find them, study them, solve this mystery and reintroduce them back into the world. Not an easy task, lemme tell you! Even Paleontologists have trouble!! As I find fossils, I'll post my adventures, tell you about finding them, the fossil itself, and the organism. Watch out for my "Fossil Alerts"!!!!!!!! Normally, it's just profiles on paelontology and futeure projects. Sometimes, it's about me and my personal life. (This is very rare okay.) The fossils are sometimes just pictures on prehistoric organisms and information. Others they might be real. Keep a look out for future posts. The Quest Begins!!!!!!!!!
