Last summer I was part of a group of young geologists that worked just outside of Decatur, NE. It is a small town of about 600 people located directly on the Missouri, or "Big Muddy" River. We also stopped at some cool places along the way:

| The 2010 "Mud Rangers" in Tennessee, led by Dr. John Holbrook | | | |
|
|
| | | | | | | | | | |  |
| | | | | | | | | | | Hello and goodbye St. Louis |
 |
| Lexington, Missouri |
We had a great time while working hard to reconstruct the surficial geological history of the river's path through the valley. We were fortunate enough to be invited to present our research at the Geological Society of America annual conference in the fall.

In conclusion, I am very fond of my experiences in Nebraska and the surrounding area. Bring on Alaska!!
