Geology Talk/Walk with Dan Davis - Aug 7th

This is to remind you all that there will be a geology talk and walk with Danny Davis this Saturday starting at 10am. We will meet in the Woodland Valley campground parking lot (the one that at the base of the Giant Ledge trail). Bring a lunch if you would like to stay and eat together at the end. Here is Danny's message to us about the day's activities.

"Hi all! I am looking forward to spending some time with you on Woodland Creek this Saturday. My plan is to show up (probably with my “stream-buddy” dog) at 10AM and talk about the geology of Woodland Valley and how the creek can help tell that story, starting with the ancient Devonian history of the bedrock that forms the mountains and valleys, to the legacy of the ice ages and the ongoing story present in the creek. I’d like to go till at least 12PM. I do have plans for a hike and possible camp afterwards so I will need to leave in the early PM.

This won’t be a power point, graph-laden talk. It will be a mutual exploration of at least one interesting reach of Woodland Creek at the state campground with a possible excursion to another reach as time and interest allows. Once we assemble we can discuss what you would like to talk about (and what I can actually cover!) and take it from there. Please bring clothes you don’t mind getting wet and foot gear that is safe for walking in cobbly stream beds. I also recommend bringing some food and drink. Looking forward to seeing you there and learning more about your beautiful valley!"

See you all there!!
