Tragedy struck at the popular fossil hunting spot at Lilydale Regional Park this past Wednesday, the same location that our own freshmen visit each year with their Earth Science course. Fourth grade students from Peter Hobart Elementary School in St. Louis Park were picking through the rocks looking for fossils on their field trip. Suddenly and without warning, the rain soaked gravel foundation shifted and gave way, burying a small group of students. Four students were involved - two unfortunately passed away, two are in the hospital with one in serious condition. The search for the missing child continued through the Wednesday night and into Thursday. Rescue crews had set up lights and worked through the long hours of night to locate the missing student. Our prayers and comforts go out to those families affected by the landslide.
