The majority of the field trip was spent in the UP along Lake Superior's shore. Lots of water, lots of waterfalls, and lots of deer. The first night we spent in Minnesota, the second day in Wisconsin and Michigan, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th days were all in UP of Michigan. The second night we stayed in ski chalets, which had hot tubs, saunas, fire pits, a pool table, pinball machine, and fun people. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to do the fun things with our tight schedule. The third night we stayed in cabins, which were "rustic". We had running water though, which was all I needed.
Two different types of ripples, showing different depositional environment and change in current direction.
Stromatolite- the white thing that is arcing over the cobble. Formed when there was low enough energy to allow them to grow.
View of the river draining into Lake Superior. We saw several different ripple styles here, and grain sizes. Pebbles in the river, and sand on the beach.
The final night, I took a walk down the running trail before dinner. Saw lots of boats and people sailing.
