I have fun by looking at rocks. No really... I'm doing my masters on them. But no soft-sediment crap. That's scum hiding the good stuff. In Calgary since Jan 4, 2006. I am now 92.4% closer to the mountains I love.

back for a day or two

thoughts go to shannon and family.

camp was good, except for losing two full days and about three half-days to rain (out of a full 11 work days). We're doing a short truck camp now, back on Sunday, then off on a week-long fly camp. Saw some pretty crazy rocks and minerals... found 10 cm + kyanites at one locality, 2-3 cm euhedral garnets at another. The scenery was pretty good too.This was the view as I brushed my teeth one morning.

Things are working out great with Cory (field assistant, or "monkey" if you like), as most of you know my memory is pretty useless, and luckily he's good at remembering stuff that I frequently forget. He's also learning quickly how to identify folds, get measurements, and obtain tricky samples.

Let me know about your summers.

That's a pretty awsome view. I can see a parking lot at the moment, but I'm not brushing my teeth, either, so maybe that explains it.
