AKELEY, Minn. — As Dallas Hudson hunts for dinosaur bones in the Badlands of eastern Montana, he’s fulfilling a childhood dream.
Three years ago, the Akeley resident discovered Baisch’s Dinosaur Digs online. According to their website, the outfit conducts “paleontological day trips on a privately owned ranch, within view of Makoshika State Park and just a few miles from the town of Glendive.”
It costs $120 per day to dig at this particular site.
He visits twice per year, staying about three days each time.
Hudson, 60, typically camps in his tent on the ranch. “I’ll call it Dino Camp.”
Diggers are currently uncovering a Tyrannosaurus rex and an 8-foot chunk of palm tree, he said.
Other common discoveries at Baisch’s Dinosaur Digs are pachycephalosaurs, alligator, crocodile, Champsos
