GSA 2007
After getting back from the UK I had a few hours at home before setting off with Helen to Denver for the Geological Society of America's annual meeting. Things didn't start too well as it took us about two hours to do a one hour journey from home to Baltimore airport. It was only by diving off to a back road and relying on the GPS that we made it just in time.
It was 'plane' sailing from then on even though we did arrive very late in Denver. Helen has been working hard with meetings and presentations and I wandered about taking photos, driving a minibus and trying very hard not to learn anything.
On the Sunday we went on a field trip looking at the local geology including dinosaur footprints (pictures on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/11463478@N00/). I went to a very interesting presentation on the health benefits of dark chocolate which included free samples; mmmmm free samples.
On Wednesday evening we drove to Frisco which is in the Rockies and it's lovely and cold here with lots of snow on the mountains.
Helen made me go running and the lack of oxygen and my cold I struggled badly. Oh well, snowboarding tomorrow!!!!
