Discussion for Geologic Mapping C for NY.

A link to the rules would be beneficial for all.

i hate new york state....

on a more serious note, is anyone's regionals offering this event? My region doesn't (but that was expected because Mid-Hudson is terrible) so I don't get any practice until states.

Western Long Island has this - I'm so screwed!

Usually I'd say check eBay/Amazon, but both bring up nothing. I'm thinking just using projection paper and printing an online copy onto it?

It looks like this is trying to become an extension of Road Scholar into Division C. I don't know what I think of it; I really like maps, and the topic seems really interesting, but Remote already exists and the equipment required for it looks pretty extensive.

This event looks absurdly difficult. And that's coming from someone who took Structural Geology in college.

These are mostly college-level concepts that even most of my class in college had trouble with.

Stereonets in particular are hard to understand, I would help, but most of these concepts are really difficult to explain in text without diagrams >.>
