Take some pictures with geology, especially large areas of the fault scarps or escarpments. Then make some smaller .jpgs (page size 200 dpi for example) and post them here. Unless you are still using film! (there was a joke there but coffee has not taken effect).
If I win the lottery and don't just retire, then it would be interesting to see whether NSF education proposal could fund some work by Brian and others. But, I'd probably never do it.
Brian, you could probably afford a Friends of the Pleistocene field trip. I went on one in 1990 and the entire cost for 3 days was $35, and that included campground fees and 100 page guidebook, which I still have. Your guitar (or whatever you play) would be very welcome. Some people bring their own special beer. They prefer to go out in the desert and have a big campfire. You carpool: there is no bus.
Let me know if you are going on one, maybe I am due.
Chris
No Chris...I still have Camera that requires chemicals and weights fifteen pounds! I might have to hire a mule train to take me up there... Just Kidding! EGAD, one of the worse things about getting old is that I CANNOT do the things I once did (I remember mapping with a plane table, alidade and compass...and tromping around all day at Poleta!) Oh well. When I get up to the Lakeview area, I can whip out my ipod or iphone, put on my reading glasses and maybe take photos!
Cheers, Penny
