[pct-l] Geology of the PCT - Resources

[bighummel at aol.com]

At the KO, Paul Hacker and I presented "Geology of the PCT" again.  
Someone in the audience asked that I post the resources that I had on 
one of the slides.  These are general sources, except James Moore's 
book, which is a must read.  He provides a history of those who first 
explored the High Sierra and shows pictures of the huge equipment they 
hauled up the high peaks to ascertain the elevation; barometers and 
surveying equipment.  He provides a good geologic discussion of the 
area as well, but then goes into high level geochemistry that only hard 
rock geo-heads care about.

I like long walks, especially when they
are taken by people who annoy me.
