My Day at Ouray

I had most of Monday for myself. I ate a good breakfast and then basically just bummed around a bit. I worked on some picture captions and updated the previous post a little more. It wasn't really frightening on the 4X4 trip. It was more unnerving :-)
After working on pics, I headed out to walk by the stream that was right behind our rooms. I took a pleasant stroll and, now I can't help myself, collected some rocks. I think I found a few that had gold but of course it wasn't gold, it was pyrite :-( But it still looks cool!
At five, Rick showed us a few slides to help us comprehend a little more about systems and how they relate to what is around us and specifically for geology. Fascinating stuff! Will see if i can post his slides later.
Jim was able to share the picture of the bear we saw on our arrival to the hotel. Here it is along with a few other pictures of what we could see from our rooms.
