IAP Geophysics Field Trip - Riverside Mountains, CA

During January 2004 we went to the Riverside mountains in southern California for week. We Joined the geologists in an effort to map a region in the mountains. We used gravity and GPS tools to do that. We had a great time, as you can see for yourself:

 
  Salt Lake City from the airplane Common tents at night Camp in daylight One of the High-Tech tents... The whole group, with the geologists  
 

 
  Riverside Mountains Tom telling Steve and Me how to level the GPS antena Brad mounting the GPS antena on the jeep Steve taking a gravity measurement, at night! Me taking gravity measurements  
 

 
  A regular day scene The GPS antena Enjoying yet another day of measurements Me in the fancy rental car Brad trying to open the hatch on a GPS mark  
 

 
  Leveling the GPS antena for the Sinan getting a short course of how to use a gravimeter Tom and me stuck in the trunk on a crowded day Cleaning the car before returning to Palm Springs, in the bizare desert town of 29 Palms Steve on top of some rock in Joshua Tree Park
