What You'll Find:

The list of goodies we have found is long. Most abundant are many species of dino teeth. Ribs, toe bones, jaw bones, leg bones are all common. 

I recommend you sign up for both days. It is a long drive and you will want to make it worth your time. No one has done just one day and said "I'm glad I only did one day".
