Besides connecting with some good friends, the highlight of the conference was a GSA field trip I took along the Columbia River, OR -- about the Pliestocene floods of Lake Missoula. VERY COOL!
Columbia River, OR -- just upstream from the John Day River along the JD Ridge (looking upriver to the east).
In addition to seeing some good folks at the conference, I got a good boost of "soul food" from a few dear friends that came to visit (or I visited them) in October.
Larry Wyatt -- visiting us in Eugene and teaching/attending the annual Yuketober Fest.
Orla and her momma Tina -- I visited them in Pdx.
Max, the GREAT DANE, -- all the way from the Czech Republic. This was the surprise and treat of the year. AND Julia D ..... magic!
