Sue Tanges Geology Raft Trip, Grand Canyon 2007

It started out as an unofficial San Diego Assocation of Geologists function. It turned out that we had 27 geologists, biologists, and various other disciplines from Southern California, Arizona, and even McAllen, Texas. A good time was had by all!

Thank you Sue!!!
