Discussion continued over lunch break. In the background is our field transportation system, the bus.

After lunch we started the mapping problem at the big railroad cut. Here Leah helps her team get started.

After several hours we got together to piece the story together.

Next day we started at Johnson Shut-Ins, a wonderful park centered on a place where the East
Fork of the Black River forms some rapids over very hard rhyolitic welded tuffs and ash flows.
