I start off this series of episodes at the Stone Circle Lodge while I plan my way to the mountain with two guests (Sam and Ram), with a trip in mind to visit some Stone Circle Ruins I've been to before to check up on their current state.
It's truly amazing how many stone circles are in Mpumalang...

On my way out from the view of the three stone circles, I can't help but stop and find so many amazing examples of the instant petrification in the fossils scattered around the fields. I then start the journey to the next site.

Something that I haven't done in a while is stop on these drives up the mountain and have a good look around.
I find myself seeing so much going on and looking at unexpected fossils in the most unexpecting places.

I can't help but take a detour from our route to go and show you the site where I found the first ribs. This site is where the penny dropped and I came to the conclusion that these are not stones! They are fossils.

I find new and old examples of fossils that prove there were giant creatures here. What were...

I look at these circles and have so many questions even with all the years of research. I find myself making new discoveries everyday I come back to these sites and it makes me excited to see so much going on.
Unfortunately with all the fires and neglect of clearing out weeds, I see circles dissa...

So as I start approaching the last circle for the day, I walk through the fossil high way on the way there. There are so many fossils here that I get so excited I could stay here for days just looking through all of these amazing examples, but I must resist and take you all to a reveal that is re...

I stop for a bit to catch my breath and look for some of the spectacular fossils I've found here on previouse trips up this mountain. This is truly an amazing place and one of the biggest parts of my research, with all the ground breaking fossils that have been found here.
