Large -- Medium

A morning CF.

We blew a tire, and of course everyone had to help fix it, including those that I'm sure have never changed their own tires in their lives (not the people pictured).

What Dave Kring likes about this outcrop is that it was layed down in a riverine environment, just like the one its in right now!

Running down the embankment was not smart.

Going down on one's butt was the way to go.

Unfortunately, this was the night that Fortney and I ate pizza for dinner. This was unfortunate because the tupperware holding the pizza leaked, soaking the pizza into a quite disgusting form. We tried frying the soggy pizza to dry it out, but all in all this night was a bust as far as food was concerned.
