How to roll over on Hell Creek sand

["franklin e. bliss" <frank@blissnet.com>]

Some of you are aware that I have paying guests to my ranch help with  
my collecting activities. The following link is to a video (on  
youtube) that I took a two years back here on my ranch(It actually  
won second place on an America's Funniest Home Videos nightly  
show).   You can briefly see a very nice dinosaur microsite off in  
the distance at the very start.  I also found a 6 foot tall (at the  
pelvis) articulated pleistocene ungulate (rear half of the animal)  
just 30 feet down stream of where the suzuki landed. Hell Creek  
Formation makes for good collecting but going to the sites has some  
risk.  I tell my digging guests that the ride to the outcrop is worth  
the price of admission.  My point is, that even grassed over Hell  
Creek is worth looking at.  Going back to the earlier discussion of  
how many more dinosaurs are yet to be found...most of the easy  
collecting has been done in the badlands. There are many thousands of  
square miles of Hell Creek that haven't been looked at yet at all. I  
was filming in this shot, not driving BTW. I haven't rolled a vehicle  
yet.

The same 4X4 club is coming out this saturday. I am hoping they will  
expose something new in their tire excavations. (We don't usually  
drive over known sites!) Anybody on this list is welcome to attend.   
Email me if you want to attend and want directions. There will be  
some January (33 degrees this weekend) surface collecting on a good  
site going on for any interested parties. I bet a couple of misc  
theropod teeth come off the surface.
