In the summer of 2000, I was driving from my home in Lehigh Acres, to LaBelle about 15-20 miles away. Enroute, I noticed a big pile of dirt on the side of the road. Nearby was a retention pond the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) had just dug out for road-water run-off.
Poking around in the piles, I noticed reddish brown fragments of bone. So I looked to the source, the pond itself, and bellied my way down to the bottom. The soupy brown mud was only a few feet deep, so I raccooned with my hands, feeling around for the familiar texture of fossil bone. Within minutes I had unearthed a mammoth femur over 4 feet long, plus ribs, vertebrae and other bones. I suspected the site was rich and contacted FDOT for permission to excavate.
An enthusiastic Shone Phillips, who was then director of FDOT's LaBelle Operations Center, immediately agreed to the excavation. Phillips, his tireless employees and their families, volunteered for countless hours of digging during their off-time. Friend Steve Bufter and I enlisted the help of nearly 100 additional volunteers, many of whom were members of the Fossil Club of Lee County.
The rest is prehistory.
The excavation lasted 18 months. Twelve partial mammoths and mastodons were uncovered, as well as jaws and bones of dozens of llamas and horses. The horse is a new Florida species.
My plan at the time was to make sure everything was turned over to the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville first. FLMNH is the official state repository for vertebrate fossils. Once the bones had been interpreted and scientific information extrapolated, my second plan was for FLMNH to permanently loan the material to an appropriate museum in Hendry County. I first tried to arrange for an exhibit in LaBelle, but in spite of a gallant two-year effort by the local historical society, we failed to find a suitable facility. About that time, the Clewiston Museum's new director Butch Wilson approached me about donating fossils for their facility. Wahlah!
The new exhibit is a great example of professional and amateur fossil collectors working together for the greater public good. Scientists and residents of all Florida benefit from the information gleaned from the bones and the exhibit will be a great educational tool for schools in Hendry County. People driving from one coast to the other will have one more great reason to spend time in Clewiston.

25 Girls riding to Clewiston, the Sunshine State. Great fun, no stress, no hissing, no spitting. Only technical stuff :1 shifter lever fallen off (screwed back on), one clutch cable broken, one handbrake lever broken off, one rear-brake lever/pedal bent into primary. 25mph for 30 miles through the Everglades...nobody's ever viewed Mother Nature quite this intensely. No brakes, no clutch, no problem. Great food and Music at Roland Martin's in Clewiston. All got home in one piece, safely, happy and healthy.
