It went from Rapid City thru Wyoming, to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, before ending up at the camp east of Butte, MT. Now of course there is a question of how much mapping work versus spending time seeing different phases of geology should be done. Of course mapping today would be vastly different from the ariel photo and topo map method used back then. (I.E. find your self on the ariel photo, locate that spot on the topo map and note what you observe. <br />Of course outside of a very few jobs how much of this is done today. Perhaps instead of 4.5 weeks of mapping 2 might be sufficient with more travel for exposure to different geological regions. Lylenoreply@blogger.com
