Roger Haydock, geologist extraordinaire, is coming to Hogback on Saturday, Nov 9, to give an illustrated lecture followed by a hike on the mountain. With Roger's guidance, we will travel through 500 million years on an entertaining tour of our region's geological roots. From an origin in the southern hemisphere, to land mass collisions, volcanoes, dinosaurs, and glaciers, Roger will take us on an illustrated indoor tour of southern Vermont's past, and conclude with a speculative peek at the future. Following his presentation Roger will lead a walk in the Hogback Mountain Conservation Area to sites where we will be able to see rocky evidence of the history he has shared with us. We might wander off trail here and there, but we'll mainly be on woodland trails. We plan to be back at the parking lot by noon. Gather for the slide show at 9:00 am at the Southern Vermont Natural History Museum (our co-sponsor for this event), which is at 7599 Route 9 East, Marlboro, VT (right next to the gift shop). Entrance to this event can be either through the gift shop or through the SVNHM outside door on the far left of the building. As always, HMCA events are free and open to the public.
