After Johnson Shut-Ins, the next stop was at the Taum Sauk power project where
there is a great exposure of the Precambrian-Cambrian unconformity. Only trouble is,
the power company has covered it up with protective fencing. Katie persists anyway.

People came up with hypotheses about how the rocks came to be the way they are...

and Clint got people to think about the options.

That night we camped out at Alley Spring. In the morning Cam experimented with
making "camp coffee," under adult supervision of course.

Breakfast was its typical, wonderful chaotic self.

We were taken on a tour of the Jacks Fork River geomorphology project by
Robb Jacobson '79, director of the River Geomorphology Project of the US Geological Survey.
He was assisted by Carrie Elliott '98.

Robb explains his research and the river's morphology to our group at various stops along the river.

And then we push on to another place.

Thanks to everyone for making it such a nice trip!
