At the end of last month (Sept ’19) I had the opportunity to go on a geologic field trip in the Eastern Sierra Nevadas as a guest of Prof. Gary Hayes at Modesto Junior College and author of the Geotripper Blog.

Recent Roadtrip

I attended as part of a longer road trip I was on to the Geological Society of America (GSA) conference in Phoenix (there was also a lot of mountain biking). The timing of this geology field trip just worked out for me to attend after the conference.

More on the rest of the road trip, and how OIH Designs is going, in a different post (probably). This is just about the field trip.

I took a lot of photos, so this post is mostly photos with context added in as able.
