Today Tate, Danny and I woke up at 6am to get breakfast before our field mapping session. After properly filling up on food and caffeine, everyone loaded up in the vans and we headed to the site. We spent the morning learning about the area by Dr. Heaney, and in the afternoon we tried our best to map the geologic contacts in the area.  Everyone got a rude awakening of how difficult mapping geology can be.  I believe most of us understood the technical aspects of the job, but actually collecting the data and understanding it was frustrating.
