U.S. Geoblogger Tour 2011
Posted by Callan Bentley
These are the geobloggers that I was privileged enough to hang out with this last week, in chronological order:
Steve Gough of Riparian Rap:
Ed Adams of Geology Happens:
Evelyn Mervine of Georneys:
Alton Dooley of Updates From the Vertebrate Paleontology Lab:
Garry Hayes of Geotripper:
Geobloggers are good people. They blog because they like to share their enthusiasm for the geosciences, and this also makes them fun people to hang out with. I look forward to more visits with my new friends.

Our picture is best because we are standing in front of a giant DINOSAUR!
No, our picture is best because there are REAL dinosaurs right at our feet!
Plus, we’re both wearing cool bandanas!
But the dinousaur is not just a dino. It is an armoured Panzerdinosaur.
… in any case, I am impressed by the miniature trucks in the top left corner of the sandbox of the first picture…
It was great having a chance to meet you, even though time was short. We’re home safe and sound. I’ll try to smile and not look so tired next time!
