During the next night a limb of the tree fell down and crunched one of the minivans.

Next stop was Mosaic Canyon where we looked at structural geology and fluvial deposits entrained in the rocks.
Tiff shows off the thickness of a squished bed.
Cam checks out a xenolith which carries remnants of possibly two earlier deformational events.
 Sarah takes a stike and dip reading. At right is what appears to be a huge boudin.

This is Kristin next to one of the coarser breccia layers.
On the last day of field work we stopped at the world's greatest outcrop. It shows spectacularly faulted ash layers.
We visited several ponds formed by springs on the Salt Creek Trail. These ponds are the homes of desert pupfish which have speciated into a different species in each pond since the lake, of which the ponds are remnants, dried up.
What a great trip!
