Volunteering

 

 

I was able to arrive here in Texas a couple of days early.  Part of the reason is to relax, to also to help a little to get the conference off on a good foot forward.

We had a group of students from Grapevine High School help us.  They were from the ecology class.  So, what do they teach in ecology????  Got me.  But they were a big help.

One of the interesting areas in Utah is Coal Country.  There is a location just before Price, Utah that has a coal seam running in the side of a mountain that the road goes through.  It kind of shows how coal looks in the ground.  It’s pretty cool to me.

Welcome to Four Corners!

Since we are in the Four Corners region, I thought it would be appropriate to get there.  It’s a little bit of a cheesy area, but it’s still very cool.  It’s actually maintained by the Navajo Nation.

Here are some more Four Corners pictures.
