North Shore (MN) Field Trip
Over fall break (October) 2002, the Geology Club headed north, with department faculty, to study the geology of Minnesota's North Shore. We stopped at Lake Pepin and the Barn Bluff fault (in Redwing) on the way north, and then made stops from Duluth to Grand Marais. The photos below catalog our trip.
