Oh, what a beautiful day! It was certainly in the upper 70's today. We met at the government car at 7 AM and went back to our site. This time we could all fit into the same car as we left the bulk of our tools in the woods yesterday. Today we started out with Dave and Jeff continuing on the east boundary and we girls continuing of the north. When we met at lunch we discovered that Dave and Jeff had started turning south along the Suwannee River (see picture) and were beginning to find some things of interest: pottery and an arrow point and a flake. We decided that since we were getting close to the "gun-toting" property owner that we would all work on the south line and leapfrog each other. Since this is the line that will actually be the Florida trail, we have to dig every 20 m instead of every 30 m. It was so nice to be on the bluff over the river - the weather was perfect and finally the girls found something: another arrow flake! Jeff thought the flakes were probably about 1000 years old. It was cool to see our names go on the collection bag! We worked until 4:30 and drove back to the motel for a much needed shower. We are all on our own for dinner for the rest of the stay. Dave and I are really beat - sore and blistered - so we opted for McDonald's which I brought back to the room. We will relax tonight and nurse our sore muscles.
