UNA geography students got to oxpfnence 13 da s ot field work in the Southwest in a summer trip that includ- ed e en ' thing from rock samples to UFOs. The 20 students were members of Dr. Greg Gaston ' s geomorphology course. Gaston said that a couple of the students had been with him on previous field work trips, but the ' ast majorit} ' of them were new. The students spent 13 of the 15 nights literally camped in the dirt. The group camped in Hinton, Okla., at the Great Sand Dunes National Monument, at Mesa Verde, in Moab, at Escalante State Park, at Kodachrome Basin State Park, at the North Rim, at Red Rocks and in Oklahoma City. Most of the students ' daily activities involved field work and keeping up with their field notebooks. These notebooks were to be filled with answers to pre- assigned questions, detailed descriptions of landscapes, and photos. The main purpose of the trip was for the students to look at landforms. My goal was to get them to see things differently than tiiL- iuid e ei ;-eeu tliem. It ou hcU e iievti bt-eii Ili the V e t, vou can ' t properly understand it. These students actually got to go and see folded sedi- mentation and experience different climates at different alti- tudes. That is not something that ' ou can learn in a class- room, Gaston said. The students had the opportunity to encounter many things that were out of the ordinary of the geography of North Alabama. For instance, both of their vans became mired in snow at La Sals. There were several football players on the trip and they simply pushed it out. [Bus driver] Floyd said that we were not, in fact, stuck; our forward motion v -as just stopped for a moment. The group also got to come into contact with some inter- esting wildlife. Thev observed antelope, mule deer and a bear. Thev were even able to get back to Native times by viewing petroglvphs. The last stop of the trip was the Grand Canyon. — Icssicn Cablcr
