July 12, 2:18 pm, I don't know where I am, because I am on the side of the road and it is TOOO! WAAY! TOOO! HOT!

It was 96 degrees at noon. Oh my hell is it hot.

The web site does not do the attraction justice. From their leaflet:

"It's 1863. While excavating fossils in Lost caverns, a friendly family of paleontologists have discovered a hidden valley filled with living dinosaurs. As the Garrison Family studies these creatures in peace, the Union Army has discovered their secret and is attempting to rustle up the dinos to use as weapons of mass destruction against the South. Which will devour them first, their greed or the dinosaurs?"

All bolding is theirs. And the cover of the leaflet is a Union soldier getting eaten by a dinosaur.

Yikes.

And it is super hot.
