Death Valley MJC Field Study 2025 2/14-17/25

Laura, Zephyr and myself all had a great time tagging along with Garry Hayes' geology field trip as emergency drivers and support for the fifteen awesome students on the trip. Normally starting on a Thursday evening, this trip instead started on Friday moring due to a terribly wet storm that drenched the valley on Thursday. Garry didn't want the students' trip to start off wet and miserable so we he cut out Shark Tooth Hill and was able to make it through the rest of our normal Friday stops and get into camp a mere four minutes later than the previous year. Friday was a bit blustery, but the winds calmed to a breeze by the evening and the rest of the trip saw partly overcast skies with high temps in the 60's to low 70's and great star viewing most nights. Enjoy the un annotated photo albums and look for previous years to find teh annotated geology.
