Geology Final/ 08 Summer vaca
In and around United States

National park
for quite some time. Once I found out that my Geology class required a final project where I could travel to a museum or place I decide to lump my studies and vacation together. The main stops included The La Brea Tar Pits, Kings Canyon, The Sequoia National Park, and The Yosemite National Park.
