Happy trails, Kate! Namaste.

Oh yeah, plenty of Red Rock Canyon photos to come... actually ventured away from the strip (yesssssss) and has a mini vacay!

Elephant Rock - Valley of Fire - Nevada

Pretty gnarled formation called "Elephant" in Valley of Fire...

Crossing my fingers I get to explore what surrounds the City of Sin, rather than just drinking in the pool. Atypical college student weekend aspirations, right?

Valley of Fire is pretty far northeast from the strip, but who knows maybe I'll get to check out these rocks reminiscent of Sedona (where my mom lives-ish).

On the way out to Vegas are some awesome sandstone formations I can't wait to check out this weekend...

Heading To Lake Mead
Originally uploaded by Maitri

Headed to Las Vegas for the first time this weekend: not quite my cup of tea, but those without cars cannot always choose their weekend destinations.

I snagged a copy of a Nevada roadside geology guide for good measure and hope to get out to Lake Mead for some fishing (for the boy) and photography. I'm hoping to see sandstone formations and a glimpse of the volcanic cones scattered behind the lake... but we'll see how interested my silly boy companions are in leaving The Strip.

Good Morning

Greetings, here's a bit about my personal background:

Growing up in San Diego, I treasured every beach I set my feet or board on, never imagining I would ever live in Los Angeles: home of the most uninviting beaches ever. More often than not, you could find me posted up in Scripps Beach in La Jolla, watching my pals surf... chasing green fluorescent critters across the sand... scarfing down Porkyland burritos... gathered around bonfires and acoustic guitars... let's just say it's really lucky I enjoy local LA sports, because its rough spending so much time inland.

Usually identified by a long, vacant pier (used by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography), Scripps is also known for some pretty awesome geological formations along the cliffs. If you walk towards Blacks Beach, you can check out the bottom layer of cliffs' sediment for some sea critter fossils.

Anywho, this blog is dedicated to sharing my love of geological hotspots.

Thanks to Ocean Air Imagery for the beautiful shot on Flickr.

Inspiration to get this blog going... the cinder cones of Maui.
Only a few things make me happier than staring at ancient volcanoes...
