We decided to stay at the race course just out of Isisford, with the ~1 km dirt track drive resulting in lots of super slow driving because of this:
If we'd driven any longer, the mud would have kept caking on, building up to near the wheel arch, and almost certainly bogging us! So, we waited some more for the sun to dry out the mud, and I took the opportunity to photograph the countryside some more.

All in all, although we didn't get to do any digging for dinosaurs, the field trip was pretty fun! And I definitely gained a deeper understanding about the power storms as an erosional forces!
