Monday will be the first day of a four-week long camping and hiking trip. It's a requirement for my graduation called 'Field Geology', more commonly known as 'Field Camp'. It's a summer course where we go out to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona doing mapping projects - basically looking at the structure of the geology out there and then putting it down on a map.

Yes, we actually use colored pencils. (Which it's strange that you actually cannot find any at Wal-Mart of all places.)

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that after Monday, May 10th, I will be on this trip and will have little access to the internet. I may occasionally get to jump on someone's laptop, but for the most part I'll have to limit my time to e-mail and Facebook.

And yes, I will be taking a lot of pictures, and I will show them on here. This will be my first time ever in the southwest United States. I've been to Washington state but we flew there, so I never was really 'in' the states we flew over. I've been to San Antonio, Texas, but never past there, so it'll be a first to be in New Mexico and Arizona.

Here's where I will be at:



B - Ink's Lake, Llano, Texas
C - Palo Duro, Canyon, Texas
D - Rio Grande Recreation Center, Taos, New Mexico
E - Sunset Crater, Flagstaff, Arizona
F - North Rim, Grand Canyon, Arizona

Stops on the way home -

G - Albequerque, New Mexico
H - Austin, Texas

We literally climb down the Grand Canyon!

Also check out the virtual tour of Field Camp and what we get to do!

So anyway, after Monday I'll disappear from the Internet for a month. Look for my return around June 4th. XD
