Here it is. I said I'd do it....the start of the summer field camp blog.
The background:
I will be spending 5 weeks in Oregon this summer for a field camp that is required to complete my BS in Geology. This is an intensive class that is in the field 6 days per week (possibly more on certain weeks).
It was a hard choice: 5 weeks of living in a dorm with running water and a real shower each night in Oregon or 5 weeks camping in Montana. DAMN! I'm a fracking wuss. Ok, my hair is just waaaaay too thick to deal with a sun shower every day. I'd hurt someone by week 3. Course, it's costing extra $$ but whatever, that's what American Express was made for. Oh, and a husband that will be working the whole time I'm away.
Between now and when I leave (June 15) I will be putting up pictures and explanations of geologic equipment used in the field for non-geology geeks. (Really, I still have friends that don't believe in licking rocks or putting acid on everything????) Then I'll be able to talk freely about how much I LOVE geologic mapping. (I'm sure you'll understand by the end of July....) I will also add tidbits about the camp and my other wonderful cohorts in crime this summer.
Until next time....

So, as Leif said "did La-tweak get the link?" I cant wait to hear stories. Did you send Queenie the link????
You ever think to yourself, "I'm into rocks, not cartography?"
Thank you for letting us know about this. Your nieces and nephews will love hearing about your adventures. Take care. Miss you.
