| meeting time and place |
Gather at 8 a.m. in the parking lot behind
the CT Building, Annandale Campus (red dot on map). If the weather
is inclement, move to indoor stairwell. (Directions
to the campus) |
| weather |
Field trips go on the original planned date or on the rain date.
The instructor will e-mail students at their NOVA
e-mail accounts if he decides to postpone the trip until the rain
date. |
| what to bring |
|
| travel |
Student carpools (+ NOVA vans), organized
at the meeting place. Note that we do a lot of driving in the
morning on this trip, a solid 2 hour chunk of roadtime before
our first stop. |
| extra fees |
Shenandoah charges an entrance fee, typically $8 per person (for
a week). I usually secure a waiver from this fee, but it's better
to come prepared to pay it. In addition, if you are riding in a
private vehicle, contributing towards the cost of gas will be appreciated
by the driver. |
| time of return |
Around 7 p.m. |
| collecting |
Shenandoah National Park is a protected area, and no sample collecting
is allowed within the park. |
| note |
The field trip is an open-air class. It involves moderately strenuous
exercise and requires attention to a spoken commentary. Only registered
students may attend. Do not bring pets, children or other companions.
