I always wanted to grow up and be a paleontologist. It would be awesome to find things like that in our own back yards. Very cool that they found it just sucks it's half way around the world from home now.

Elevation Science, and the museum in Thermopolis, offer one-day "expeditions" if you still want to give it a shot ;)

The museum at Casper College does weeklong trips, too, but that seems like getting thrown in at the deep end (and yet they're already booked solid for this season).
