STAKE YOUR CLAIM FOR A HIGH STAKES ADVENTURE:
STAKE YOUR CLAIM FOR A HIGH STAKES ADVENTURE: BRING PRE-HISTORIC TIMES, DINOSAURS AND TREASURE HUNTING TO LIFE THIS SUMMER IN THE BADLANDS OF SOUTH DAKOTASan Diego, CA - If mystery, history, adventure, and fun are your vacation dream team, San Diego-based Incredible Deals has two summer vacation packages that will fit your fantasy to a T … T-Rex to be exact because we’re talking dinosaur digs! Join in the largest paleontological dinosaur expeditions ever.
For either a week or a weekend of high stake adventure, a renowned paleontologist, Steve Nicklas, Ph.D., and a trained crew of experts, will lead you and your family to private and exclusive excavation sites in the Badlands of South Dakota’s Harding County where you will go on the treasure hunt of your life to find 65 million year-old dinosaur fossils. Treasure? You bet. Dinosaur fossils are valuable. “Sue,” the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex found several years ago in Harding County sold at Sotheby’s for $8.4 million and is now on display at the Field Museum in Chicago. You are guaranteed to find fossils during your dig and can actually take home up to $3,000.00 worth. In addition, you will earn 3% of the value of any fossils and that includes the possibility of whole and as yet undiscovered animals that exceed the $3,000.000 limit. Just think. finding “Sue” would have netted you a cool $252,000!
There are not many ways or places left on Earth where you can leave it all behind and indulge your passions to find buried treasure … safely, without risking your life at every step. Apart from the hazards of deep sea diving for wrecks or trekking through snake-infested swamps to find pirate treasure, a dinosaur expedition is the best and easiest way to discover possible riches beyond your imagination.
Treasure aside, these all inclusive vacations, Dinosaur Adventures and Club Dinosaur, available this summer, beginning June through August, 2001, bring pre-historic times to life for the entire family in an experiential way that can’t be touched by a film, television, or video experience.
The fossil sites, located in Harding County, South Dakota, Hell Creek Formation, range over 150,000 acres providing exposures dating back to the late Cretaceous period (60 to 65 million years). On daily excursions through the Badlands, you will be well schooled by Dr. Nicklas in how to identify and collect fossils and bones. You will have ample opportunity to strike it rich should you be lucky enough to find “the big one”. Geographically, Harding County itself is a place of astonishing natural beauty … rolling hills, spectacular buttes and gorgeous pine forests … that rare place which frees you to “just be.”
Besides its treasure trove of pre-historic riches, Harding County played host to the most famous of the outlaws romanticized in the tales of the Old West. So whether you want to “strike it rich” digging for dinos, dream the dreams of a desperado, or simply bliss out on the beauty of the site, these vacations will fit your adventure bill.
