As the subject suggests, things are going well with me in DC. I have been finding interesting fossils in the parks, although getting used to eastern geology again is quite a switch. My field sites are now along creeks, roads, or in the case of C & O Canal along rock faces blasted or drilled off more than a hundred years ago. I love the green of the city, but I have also been experiencing the ticks and chiggers that come along with the green.
Right now I am writing up reports about what I've found in the parks and making recommendations for future monitoring and protection of these sites. My internship has been extended through the fall, so I'm going to stay on and do some interpretive programs about what I've found for the parks to use. I'm looking forward to the change of pace.
Well here's a picture of me looking at one of the canal locks--they are neat because they're all built of local stone and you can see the same sedimentary structures, sometimes better exposed. And for a change of pace, jousting at a Renaissance fair I went to recently with my park service housemates.
In the east fall is coming, and I'm enjoying the crisp air. Hope you're not being blasted with too much heat in CA!
