Today was our last field day in the Big Horn Basin. Ben Burke, an alum, brought us out to a small oil field, where we got to see a field in production. It works off of really old technology, but is able to produce enough oil to get by. After that, we hiked up to the top of an outcrop of Greybull Sands, the remnant of an ancient fluvial system. Pat brought a watermelon to the top, so we all gorged!
We are leaving the basin and heading up toward Yellowstone/southern Montana to meet up with Devon Renock, where we will transition into studies of economic geology. I will be out of email and cell service for about 8 days, so I'll check back in in a week!
