T. Hodge , Under the direction of Dr. E. T. Hodge, the geology department will hold a summer session field trip in the Oclioco National Forest of Cen tral Oregon, June 10 to July 10, for the purpose of training advanced students in the methods of geologic field work. The party will operate from camps wit* its headquarters station on the Deschutes river, 12 miles from Madras. It will be possible in the Deschutes country,: Dr. Hodge said, to study and map the entire Tertiary column known'to exist in Oregon. The rocks in this locality show-many types of structure, are separated by striking inconformities and composed of a great.many, rock types. From this beautiful camp site, Dr. Hodge points out, .it will be possible in a small area to study and map one of the - most' interesting geologic, areas*in Oregon. “Two weeks will be spent in making a geologic map of this area,” he said. “After the conclusion of the mapping problems the students will bo taken on a two fweeks’. trip. The route is south to the v Paulina mountains, oast to Burns, west.to Suplec, north across the Oehoeos to- the’ Columbia fiver, and r then directly west to IloOd River.- This trip will enable us to see some .of the most important and interesting, geologic and scenic fea tures'in' eastern Oregon.” U83S 03 OX SlMiOIX t!AB3 Prom - Eugene the geologists will proceed to Redmond by way-of the McKenzie highway with a short stop to examine the great lava flows aiul high peaks surmounting the Cascade range. Camp on the Deschutes river and the mapping of the topography and geology will be followed by a short jaunt to Bend over the great Madras lava flows. While the party is in this vicinity an exploration of the Crooked River Canyon is planned. South of Bend is a lava flood v hich has been diverted up the De schutes river and is an open field for intensive study. Continuing, the geologists will ex plore the Arnold ice caves near Bend, and the great Paulina moun tain, the latter with its caldron lakes thought by some to be grander than Crater Lake. The artesian structure near Fort Rock, and Christmas and Fossil lakes, having fine Pleistocene fos sils of birds and implements of early Oregon men will be studied, fol lowed by a trip to the great fossil forest at Burns. Fossil Areas Attract The Paleozoie region of Supleoi which represents one of the oldest fcssiliferous geologic columns in the state, the Ochoco mountains, the .John Day valley, and a crossing of the great Columbia river plateau will conclude the trip north. Directly west along the Columbia river study in the rock folds, and finally an investigation of the great folds lying between The Dalles and Hood River will complete the geo logic field trip. Each student is expected to parti cipate in one or two dajrs of pre summer training in the use of a goo logic plan table on tho campus and to do some reading covering the geology of tuo area taken by the t^P.
