George McKillip was 92 when I met him. Born in a Nebraska sod house and still living in a soddie. Just him and the lizards. (Webster, NB)
Hard land makes for fascinating faces. Those faces come with stories. Here’s a look in to the eyes of some of the folks you’ll meet in the Lost Sea Expedition TV series.
George Did not like rattlesnakes. (Webster, NB)
Diane Turko. Not really a face shot but how could I not include this one? Amazing business woman with a biker bar and a stuffed double-headed calf. (Alzada, MT)
Joe Taylor: creationist. Still doesn’t celebrate Charles Darwin’s birthday but he might dance on his grave. (Crosbyton, TX)
Twila Merril: rode saddle broncs for 6 years without getting “throwd”…then she was “throwd”…Tough lady. (Scenic, SD)
Whoa! You weren’t expecting a fish here were you? Well, it’s one of the faces of the Lost Sea so here it is. Think 18-foot hearing that could swallow you. It’s a Lost Sea super-predator called Xyphactinus (pronounced “Zi fak tin us”. Check out some more Lost Sea critters here. (illustration by Charlie Frye / Frye Art Studio)
