Field School is DONE!!! 12 days in the bush: 1 bottle of sunscreen, 1 can of bug spray, 1 roll of TP, 4 colourful maps and 1 very long all-nighter; ...I am free from school for the summer!
I thought I would post some pics my friend took during the course, (thanks Jill!). I am so glad I have these pics for lasting memories, since my 'war wounds' are slowly fading...
This is me, hard at work during our lunch break on the peak of a mountain of gabbro in the LU Conservation Area; our first mapping project.
Deep in the bush, I am hard at work, mapping in the magnificant rock wall behind me of a contact between conglomerate and argillite of the Huronian; our 4th and last mapping project along HWY 144N.
Ya, here I am again, sitting beside a wonderful exposure of Gowganda conglomerate of the Huronian. This was a mountain range of pure conglomerate which showed another great contact with the Argillite. A totally exciting find for Jill and I on our last day in the field.
Guess who? I'm standing in this photo for a size reference for the large outcrop of felsic veining within the 'two-feldspar megacrystic granite' of the Archean. I believe I actually learned a thing or two during this course!
The group of four stop for a final bush lunch on an outcrop of ?sandstone? I think. We were so blessed to have such wonderful weather for the entire 12 days in the bush!!!
Jill and I stop to take a pic of ourselves on a conglomerate ridge. You sure get to know each other when you are working in the bush together. All acceptable forms of social etiquette go out the window! LOL! Great times, Jilly Bean!
This is the whole gang, at Onaping Falls for a group photo. Thanks everyone for making the course fun, interesting and entertaining! (missing in this pic is our very cool TA, Mary-Beth...thanks for all the good times while on the road!!!)~Now I am thrilled to be starting my summer off with a weekend trip away with Matt to meet his friends in Mississauga! ROADTRIP!!!!~
