Participants int eh weeklong sessions travel to the northwestern flank of the Bighorn Mountains in south-central Montana to learn to extract dinosaur fossils from rock using hand tools, how to gather and document field data and how to “field jacket” the fossils in burlap and plaster for shipment to the museum.

Glenn...I'm trying to remember where the homesteader cabin is located. It's not on the old abandoned mining road, is it?
Nope - It's on the gravel cutoff between the Belfry Bridger road and the road to Powell, running near the Clark's Fork.
Hi Dad, how are you doing? My favorite pictures were the ones of the petroglyphs. William :)
Had a great time on the Dinasaur dig. It was a 'once in a lifetime' event that I'm tempted to repeat and now recommend to all my friends. I am pleased to see the bones I worked so hard on were safely removed. Everyone got along, the 'professionals' were supportive and helpful, the cook at the YBRA served fabulous food that met my difficult dietary restrictions. Every night I ended my journal with the same entry: "Another good day!"
Thanks to all involved!
