Monsters of Rock Geology Mobile Workshop

You won’t want to miss this Learning on Location opportunity as we set out on an exploration of Frederick County’s geologic history with Chris Haugh. This is the perfect complement to Chris’ June, 2015 ILR class offering entitled “The Prehistory of Frederick County,” based on his earlier 1999 video documentary Monocacy. The award-winning researcher/documentarian will employ a light approach in helping students understand geologic events of our past through the context and environs of Frederick County. Participants will explore present-day examples and traces of earth-shaping events that occurred millions of years ago. Be sure to bring your walking shoes for some easy to manage mini-hikes off the bus. This particular trip will include a collection of site stops in Frederick County. We are keeping these exciting stops a surprise but if you can't stand the suspense just give us a call and we'll whisper the stop list in your ear. Coach departs FCC Conference Center (Building E) in the lobby at 9 a.m. returning about 5:00 p.m. A boxed lunch is included.
