I really like road cuts. One of my favorites is on Washington 12, between The little towns of Dayton (which is a sweet little town, pop 2,715) and Pomeroy. There are cuts there through the palouse loess that must be 50 feet deep.

I thought they put metal jackets and other accouterments on all the shady overpasses, so they are unlikely to fall down again. Building survivable overpasses is not as mysterious as it was a decade or two ago.

Friday Ark
Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday. We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals as I see them (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Leave a comment or trackback…

Yes, it is very dangerous to be a geologist and drive in southern California (or other arid geologically active area). You can either let someone else drive, and lose out on the ability to stop wherever you want to get out and look more closely at the outcrop, or quietly sulk the entire trip.
