Does anyone have a report on rock crawling?

Rock crawling is a sport where a person(s) drive their highly modified vehicles up steep, rocky trails where a normal four wheel drive vehicle would never dream of going.\n\nMost rock crawlers have heavily modified engines designed to deliver a high amount of torque to the tires.  In addition, most serious rock have suspensions with a great deal of travel and articulation.  This is to make sure that the tires remain on the ground (so they can get traction).\n\nHere is a good article to read http://www.hiinternational.com/articles/art5_en.cfm?topicId=5&id=290

A few years ago (1980s) a company was marketing a nuclear device for determining metal content of rocks.  This was a hand held device, and it worked very well.  I don't remember the manufacturer, but I know that it existed, and I saw it work.  The only problem was the nuclear source material.  In order to penetrate to any depth in the rock, it's nuclear source needed to be very powerful.  I think this was considered too much of a liability, and the company quit manufacturing the device.  I'm sure that you can still find one around.  I saw this demonstrated at a geologist's convention in Reno.  I think it was 1983 or 1984.

I think one recent cave discovery was in Algeria I think, or somewhere in Africa.  In the cave, they found a new species, whick looks like a spider,scorpion, and probably a cricket, i forgot the last one.  Anyway, that was one of the recent cave discoveries.

Where there any geological hints previous?\nHow was the emergency action plan enacted?\nWhat was the survival rate in the ash zone?

Okay, I have worked Alaska as a geologist, so I figure I can point you to a good book. I am sure Roadside Geology of Alaska will have a good summary of Alaska's geology. I looked on Amazon and didn't find anything I liked so my next stop was the Walter Geology Library at UT Austin. There are two or three really good geology libraries in the US and this is one of the better ones. To search yourself go here: http://utdirect.utexas.edu/lib/utnetcat/\n\nHere is my recommendation. You should be able to find this book in many libraries because it is published by the Geological Society of America. It is out of print so I recommend you have your library order it on interlibrary loan. Even public libaries can do this for you. I looked and there are no used copies on Amazon. Here is the library listing:\n\nTITLE:\n    The geology of Alaska / edited by George Plafker and Henry C. Berg. \nPUBLISHED:\n    Boulder, Colo. : Geological Society of America, 1994. \nDESCRIPTION:\n    x, 1055 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm. \nSERIES:\n    Geology of North America v.

type quebec + geology + St. Elle d'orford in your browser.  Also, local universities can help.  I have stratigraphic charts, but none for Canada, just US (although they are called COSUNA, for Correlation of Stratigraphic Units of North America).  Keep looking..the rocks won't go away!  And, good luck.

Howdy neighbor..!!!! I live in Portland.\n\nThe only nearby rockhounding in this area that I know about is in the Columbia River Gorge. Lots of petrified wood in some places. Poking around Mt St Helens sometimes turns up some interesting rocks too, especially pumice.\n\nAlso, take a look at this website. Lots of rockhounding links for this area.\n\nP.S.\nDrop a note and say hello :)

She seems to be doing fine in her physical milestone development. Crawling comes around 6-9 months of age. \n\nBut the important thing to note is that not all kids crawl or kneel before they start walking. It's totally normal for kids to skip one or two milestones as long as they are moving ahead.

YES, there are, but your biggest concern would still be tornados!  Back in the late summer/early fall of 2000 there was one in Amarillo.  That was the first time I had ever "felt" one.  My brother and I were sitting on the couch and it felt like someone started shaking it!  It was very brief, but everyone in our apt building opened their doors and were asking "did you feel that??  was that a.... NO WAY!"  Since then, there have been smaller ones here and there that are getting a bit of media coverage, like the one in Dumas, but not that entense or frequent.  Now I'm no geologist, but Amarillo DOES sit on top of an underground mountain range, so that might contribute.  The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, which every school kid is like REQUIRED to go to on at least 3 field trips in their lives, has an exhibit on it.  Pretty interesting.

THIS week- My son and I were in the yard digging up worms to go fishing. I slammed the shovel into the pile of soft dirt we have just for this kind of thing and out fell a baby mole who's head was busted from the shovel. It's brains spilled out onto the ground and it was still moving. \nTHE MOLE ALONE WAS GROSS...YUCKY!!!\nThen, two days ago I was on the front porch and this aweful noise came from the highway. We live 1/4 mile off the road so by the time I got out there a deer was in the ditch. It had been hit and it was sliced open on the side. She was still breathing and you could see her baby's hoof coming out of her side. \n\nYUCK YUCK YUCK!...AND SAD...

We were on a border watch in Arizona in 1990. I watched a Marine get his leg knocked out from under him from a rattlesnake strike. The fangs didn't penetrate all the way through his boot, but you could definitely see the holes where the snake had struck. He said it felt like someone had punched his ankle hard. Surprised us all.\n\nAlot of outdoors catalogs sell snake boots and chaps for walking in snake country. They are very effective and don't cost a hell of alot. Check these out:

i have. it was the only thing i could catch in the desert i was stranded in (near cali/arizona border) and i was 2 months pregnant. i couldn't catch the damn jackrabbits. i got one of those great big rats by the tail and swung it down really hard like five times to bash its skull in until it was dead. then i cooked it over my campfire. the hardest part was picking out all those little bones. and don't try to eat the tail. i thought it would be a delicacy, but it was damn near impossible to chew.
