Our trip report (by Lynn Everson) is ready, and we have a lot of pictures from this wonderful field trip. The photos are by Annette Kimmich and Jo Lakeland. Click above for more pictures (16-31). If you do not want to see all the pictures (the downloading does indeed take some time), just go to the page with thumbnails, and make your choice.
