I bet that those were some fun days spent out in the field. Getting away from the office to the great outdoors tends to bring out the kid in many of us, especially the geologists. I wish these trips had been better chronicled. I have to believe there were some fun stories and lots of gothca's.
Another great picture Ed that speaks volumes!

I have (twice) and it's a great book. But it doesn't get into a lot of detail about the field trips and some of the fun stories that must have happened.
