So. Home from Sedimentation and Stratigraphy field trip. Weather was about as good as could be reasonably expected, company was better, rocks were amazing. Have just showered off two days' worth of sweat and mud and rock dust. My pecs and thighs feel as if they was been pelted with large, weathered cleavage fragments of upper Devonian fossiliferous sandy shales from the Trimmers Rock formation. Which they weren't. Well, not on purpose. And I'm mildly sunburnt on my arms and face. And my feet hurt, and I have cuts and bruises all over. So I'm happy, if physically exhausted. More detailed trip report:

Saturday morning and afternoon: ( In which we drop some acid, and then have a very bad trip. )

Coming sometime when I'm less exhausted, Part 2: Rumbles of Discontent, Part 3: The Marks of Progress (and Retrogress), and Part 4: Let's Go Play in the Highway.
