Now Following

Hey guys,
Check out this blog www.tatimariart.com. It's done by my friend Tatiana, she's the one that is in just about all of my pictures from the Geology trip. All the artwork she does herself!

oops, missed some



Here's one of all our guys, we couldn't get the girls to sit still long enough so we could get one of them. They all wore their pants rolled up with really long socks. It was so funny! They even slicked their hair over, and some carried combs in their pockets.

Retro Night


Last night (22nd) was Retro Night at JHBC!
All the students and staff dressed up in 40s and 50s garb for a fun night of dinner and dancing. It was a blast.





Me and Analea.




The Pastor's Wife (and Our Nurse), Mrs. Landis.





Richard, he came as the Mafia, and his body guard (Caleb).






Our wonderful RAs, Kenton (Men's RA) and Jen (Women's RA).







Dinner was pizza, hamburgers, and Coke.












After dinner we all gathered around to watch some skits and play some mind games. Then we cleared away the chairs and danced to some period music. It was a blast and even the guys got into it. We learned the twist, the charleston, the octopus, and then whatever flowed to the music.

Geology Field Trip

For our class on Creation Geology we traveled all the way up to Washington, making stops along the way to look at evidence for the Genesis flood and for the Glacial Lake Messula flood. In this picture here, we had stopped at Camas Prarie to look at ripple marks (30ft high) in the gravel beds in the valley.

Here we are at the Grand Coulee Dam.

In the museum at the Dam.




Swimming at our campsite, the Dam is just down the river.










Dry falls, where the Genesis flood layed down lava and the Glacial Lake flood carved out this waterfall. The water no longer flows but if it did it would be larger than Niagra Falls.



Climbing at the Feathers. These are large columns of lave that were eroded down during the Messula flood.








Me and Tat.




We found an outcropping that looked just like pride rock from the Lion King. So I took a small rock, wrapped it in my jacket, and posed for this picture.









































Gingko Petrified forest. All over these hills are logs that have been petrified from the Genesis flood. They come from all over the world and all different climates but are found on these hills. Evidence of a world wide flood.














Mount Rainier.














Mount St. Helens, it was so windy there but thank goodness it wasn't foggy.













































There were some really cool trees here.















One of our many stops along the road. This is a gravel bar laid down my the Glacial Lake flood.













While driving through Washington state, we came across a rather famous site, only this one was in prime condition. Stonehenge. Someone built it in washington as a memorial. Yes, we were allowed to climb it.



























































Palouse Falls. This was a really cool waterfall cut out of the hardened lava.













Throughout the week we stayed at many places (churches, campgrounds, and people's houses) but we spent more time in the bus than anywhere else. I had loads of fun and learned alot. I would have to say though that my favorite part was either stonehenge or Mount St. Helens.
