HEY FRIENDS OF THE PLEISTOCENE!

THANKS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FALL 2009 TRIP


The trip was lead by Joel Pederson and the USU geomorphology crew, with help from Richard Hereford (USGS-retired), Bob Webb (USGS), and Paul Grams (USGS-GCMRC), and sponsorship from the USU Luminescence Laboratory.

At least 80 participants enjoyed the awesome weather for the first two days, but it degraded towards the end, along with Joel's scientific delivery.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Next years RM--FOP trip will be to the Henry Mountains!
Led by Arjun Heimsath, Joel Johnson, Kelin Whipple, and Leonard Sklar
Contact Arjun to express interest and encouragement!
Here are a few photos from the trip:

Joel during heated debate about what historic flood got to whatever stage,
suggesting that everyone just cool off in the dammed river and get off his back.

Keith Howard captures Joel babbling about real-time E-Z geochronology via the goggles. Note the "nip-point" banner slung across chest.
To everyones relief, no skin was showing here on day three.
