In the afternoon we drove to Big Horn Basin, WY. We some crazily dipping beds!

Here is Shelby in the van with her cowboy hat and big horn sheep animal.

This is the Chugwater Formation close to our camp, all the rock our camp is very red, it's beautiful!

Chimney Rock, formed by the intersection of two streams, everything else was eroded, pretty cool!

Here is our camp. We are staying at the Iowa State University Field Camp. The bunk houses were used as a Japanese internment camp during World War II and then ISU bought some of them to use for their camp. It's a bad history but they're getting put to good use now.

Today we went to Shell Canyon and looked at rocks from 3 billion years ago, all the way up to current day structures and deposits.

This afternoon we did bounding intervals with Sam Streeter. We found a really good hill right near our camp with a nice trail that took about five minutes. Afterwards we hiked back up and took some pictures because it was so beautiful. We found this cool cave.

Sam is from Wyoming and he told us that it is really hazy here right now from forest fires, usually there is a crisp line on the horizon.

Lots of cows in this part of the country.

View from the top, our camp is down in those woods.

This is the crick that goes by our camp, we went swimming after intervals, it was cold!!

Dinner time!
