Looks like you're done with the course already, MacBeth! We never really studied geology at the high school level, but it's an interest, so I really enjoyed these photos. And I like the fact that you have ways to study all these things without textbooks. In fact, that's how I found your blog to begin with, looking for science resources.
I'd recognize the picture of Lake Pactola anywhere - one of my favorite places ever.
Glad you recognized it, Paula! I could not recall the name...
Laura, Libby never really did earth science, and Trip took it in school...this field trip was great because Trip had just finished the course, and Annika would be following my curriculum for earth science. Now that Paul is ready for it, I figured I'd jog his memory with the photos. I hope we find the samples, too!
BTW, love following the tour of Italy you took. So many memories of Libby's tour of Tuscany in '04.
