Meghan Tice sent some pictures from the Saturday trip to Bear Island. I
created a Flickr account and put them there.

From Rod Simmons:

We've been spoiled these past several years with all the great local
geologic forays, lectures, workshops, and surveys by our "resident"
geologist extraordinaire Tony Fleming (he's practically a board
member of both plant societies, as well as City of Alexandria
employee!), but apart from all his customized work for us and
assistance, the following geologic field trips are outstanding and a
great opportunity to learn geology or supplement one's knowledge.

I've always thought that NVCC does the best job locally in
instruction in geology, and field trips offered are wide-ranging
(D.C. and Maryland covered too) and great resource. (I think all are
1 credit hour.)

Sites include Shenandoah Park, Calvert Cliffs, the National Zoo, Billy
Goat Trail and many others.
