On the 21st of this month, one of my geology classes is heading up to the Four Corners region to do a field study. We will be stopping at several areas of geologic interest, recording things in our field journals, and taking day hikes to special areas designated by our professor and a geologist who works for the state of Arizona.
There will be about seven students and the two instructors. We will be travelling in two vans, and car camping in primitive areas.
I will be taking my service dog (Dexter) and plan to come back with many incredible pictures. We are expecting temps to be around 25 at night and the mid 70s during the days.
There will be a few people on the trip with no camping or hiking experience, and they already know they can come to me with any gear questions they may have. The school, and the state of Arizona will be providing any camping gear that these people do not have (except for hiking boots/shoes), which I thought was pretty dang impressive. Also, the school is paying for all expenses associated with the trip, including food. We were told to expect a fair amount of steak!
We will return on the evening of the 24th, and I will try my best to get a report back to you guys asap, along with some great pictures.
