New Field Trip Toolboxes from Sears

-from the Director

Thanks to a donation from Sears and some quality design work from Conveyor Group, the museum is in the process of implementing the new hands-on tool box component of our field trip program.

The new Sears Craftsman 26in Standard Duty Tool Box Combo cases just came in this week. We are very excited about how the field trip program has expanded and we are happy to now have the actual "tools" that we need.

Look for an article about the new cases and our field trip program in this Saturday's Imperial Valley Press.

San Diego Association of Geologists

The San Diego Association of Geologists organize an annual field trip. 

This year the field trip explored the interaction of the major faults of Southern California. Touring by bus, they stopped to explore the physical location of fault lines and examine the resulting geology formations. They took a break at the museum for lunch, catered by the  Jacumba Spa, and listened to Professor Norrie Robbins, adjunct professor at San Diego State University, give a talk on the complex relationship between native cultures and geological fault lines.
