Tuesday was a short day but we did go into the field and map a contact. Some of us were lucky and this contact is in our official map for the project, but most of us were not.
Yes, we were all split up into different groups upon arrival and everyone is envious of our map boards!
Today was a rather crappy day. We began with a 90 min lecture in the morning, then went to the field where were mapped from approx 10am until 1715 with a single 30 min break for lunch. It was hot, but not sweltering, but the hardest part was that there are 27 students for 2 professors. The last half of the day was walking a fault line as a large group. Yeah, didn't work. There was too many of us: we couldn't hear the professor talk due to the wind and being "far" away and when the aerial photo was looked at, unless you were right next to the prof, you couldn't see it (it was an 8x8 photo). Hopefully we won't have many other projects where we're working in a group this large.
On a positive note, no rattlesnakes were encountered and no one injured themselves.
