John Day Trip

For my geology literature class "Pages of Stone" we took a trip down to the John Day formation down in Oregon. Three days, and two very cold nights of camping were spent attempting to stay warm. This is mainly a picture post, because my words won't do it justice.

However, out of the trip we wrote essays about processes we witnessed throughout the trip, and I'll just end my talking by saying I wrote a nice little piece about a serpent rock that eats other rocks. 

Our lunch stop on the first day, notice the snow on the ground.


The first time we used the iPads was at this outcrop to avoid the hike uphill. The iPad set up, worked flawlessly and I was even able to see some wonderful scoria patterns.


Simon, for scale of course.




Geology is an arm waving major. 

The Painted Hills





The entire group inside the John Day Fossil Beds, which were quite a trek into.
