High Plains #1 [May 23-24, 2019]

May 23, 2019: Departure

Dawn at Chicago’s Midway Airport

Chicago to Denver

May 24, 2019: Lincoln Lake Lodge

Drove in two vans from Denver to Legion Lake Lodge in South Dakota.

Sketches from the first day: Legion Lake, Jojo Wang, some Lamb’s Ear and a quote from the geology professor.

May 24: Lover’s Leap

Cece and Jojo at the top of Lover’s Leap!

That big dark mass is a breathtaking array of pine trees. Work that imagination.

Every now and then, Beth Wright(the geology professor) would pull over and we would all get out and stare at rocks.

(a lot of geology notes for someone who wasn’t actually enrolled in that class.)
