On Sunday we took a geology tour at the Valles Calderas National Preserve near Los Alamos, New Mexico. Like the archaeological tour that we did in July this one was also fantastic.
The van ride was quite an adventure by itself, but consider that each van had 12 people including the drivers and the tour guides. We started at 9:00 am and ended about 4:15 pm.
Frazer and Cathy, our geologists tour leaders kept us well informed of the composition and chemistry of each rock that we examined.
The ride back to the staging area from near the northern border of the preserve was about 40 minutes alone.

You find any olivine bombs or cool stuff like that?
