Every year the rock mechanics lab tries to sneak off for one last trip to the field before the snow arrives. This year Mike and Heather put together a plan that brought us up north a bit to the Kingston area. In particular there was a nice fault zone right off the side of the road.
Our second stop was a park overlooking the Hudson, where we ate lunch.
I was particularly excited by the chalk marks, wishing I had some gear with me.
Third stop was this eery mining cave.
Then another place with quartz crystals growing from the veins in the rock.
Final stop was this fault along a river.
Previous cores had been taken from this fault.
