    Time Thu, Jun 25, 2009, 1:00 PM

    We'll start underground and work our way up. We'll ride around town looking at the various things that could kill us and see examples of the things that would have killed us if we were around at the time. Stops and topics will include the volcanic history of the region, earthquakes, landslides, mega-floods, and maybe even some meteor impacts. Don't worry, a real-live professor of geology will be on hand to protect you from mass extinction and throw around words like "Mohorovicic discontinuity" and "cleavage". Some of the stops are up steep hills, so expect to do some climbing.
