Your site says that Geology info is on the News Page, but, wow, I can’t see going thru 46 pages to find however many there are, and we are planning a rock club trip to Monte Lake and environs in May. Could you perhaps lead me to the Geology items (and advise how many there are? Thanks so much! We really enjoy reading about your outings, and are planning to do some of your hikes while we are there.
The website has been around for a long time and some of the older posts are not current. I had hope to have included more on geological sites, but other than observations during hikes, it did not result in enough information to be of use to those searching for specific geological information. There are paragraphs here and there, but no indexing on this blog.
Some of the original maps in our area need to be updated on this site. How do we go about that. In particular; Skull Mountain, Mayson Lake, Orchard Lake.
Thanks,
I wasn’t aware that there were new versions of these maps. These posts are older now and don’t get much traffic, but I am happy to update them anyway. Are they available online?
