FIELD TRIP INFORMATION
WHAT: You can earn up to 2% extra credit for G201 by attending
a field trip that will be conducted by the Geology Department and writing
a report (see syllabus for details).
WHEN: The field trip will start promptly at 2 PM on Friday,
and end approximately at 6 PM on Sunday, May 18. You will need to
arrive early to pack your supplies.
WHERE: The field trip will go to Central Oregon (the John Day
area). A bus will take you there.
FOOD AND CAMPING: You will need to sign up for a cooking group
in the Geology Department office in CH17. These food groups will
arrange menus, purchase food, and cook for Friday night dinner, breakfast
and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. Lunches for Saturday
and Sunday will need to be packed at breakfast time. Your food group will
need to bring a camp cook stove and cooking fuel that can be stored separately.
The trip will involve camping, so you need to bring tents, sleeping bags,
warm clothing, flashlights, etc.
HOW: To attend the field trip, you have two options:
1. Register for G200 (1 credit). Pick up a syllabus available
in the Geology office, CH 17.
2. Pay an activity fee of $55 to attend the field trip, payable to the
Geology Department. Give your payment to the secretary in the Geology
office, CH 17, who accepts various forms of payment and will give you a
receipt. Pick up the syllabus available in CH 17.
Regardless of which option you choose, YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR FOOD
GROUPS. You should also pick up a syllabus for the G200 class, which
gives more details about the field trip and what you need to bring.
If you want to go, you should decide soon, mainly because it takes time
to arrange the food groups and to arrange for the transportation.
