2003 - SUE IKEDA

Field trip advisors Carol Hasenberg and Bev Vogt did a reconnaissance trip and got great information for the trip from Gerry Black, former geologist for the Oregon State Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, Ron Metzger of SWOCC, and a field trip guide entitled “Field Trip Road Log for the Cenozoic Stratigraphy of Coos Bay and Cape Blanco, Southwestern Oregon,” by geologist John M. Armentrout.

Bev was not able to attend the actual field trip so Carol Hasenberg led the group with additional help from a knowledgeable participant, Guy Di Torrice, then known as Oregon's "Fossil Guy". The itinerary for the trip included stops along the Umpqua River valley, John Dellenbach Dunes trail, Fossil Point in Empire, Oregon, Bastendorff Beach and Sunset Bay near Cape Arago, Shore Acres State Park, Bandon Marsh, Bandon Jetty, Humbug Mountain, Port Orford, and Cape Blanco.

Pictured is Sue Ikeda at the end of the field trip with her trunk full of rocks, and her bumper sticker reads “Have a Gniess Day.” What else?
