Bill. Breathtaking photos. The library was able to get the book on the Fingers Lakes geology. It came from the U of Arkansas library. I was in the process of moving the month of June and wasn't able to study very much of it. It is my opinion that I would have to see the area and comprehend the lay of the land in order to envision the changes made by the glaciers. Do you believe erosion is still taking place as the book said (thirty years ago) and if so, is the effect even more spectacular? I say that because erosion in Nebraska is not a good thing--the creeks deepen, are less accessible, and the best Nebraska soil makes up the Mississippi delta. I live in an area of Missouri that I imagine must be a little like central NY in that there are many trees, rolling hills, bluffs and antebellum homes. Where the Nebraska prairie was once intersected with roads squarely girding the sections of land, Missouri roads in this area are thrown down like ribbons. Although I don't see it, my son says this area is a bowl in the land--claustrophobic for him (and I have no desire to learn where that trait originates)--and he prefers the level plains and open skies. Did get take the trip across Nebraska this summer and what did you think of it?

errosion is still going on big time here. The farmers aim for no more than 2-3 tons per acre per year lost. I have been home all summer and have not yet made it out to the Midwest.
