What will people do to find shells? The 3 hour drive for a mud walk was worth it!
What will people do to find shells? Shoot, I've driven hours and hours in one day, woken up at 3am, braved the cold, wind and rain but on this day it was all about the mud. But some shells take a little more effort. I'm happy to say this adventure was worth the effort!
