Planetary Society Expedition to Belize
Saturday 24th - Day 1 At Pooks
|
Jaime, Alejandra, Joe, Jan and Paul prepare for our
first trip into the field at Pooks Hill.
|
|
We start our tour of the Pooks hill sites with the
local dump (which probably differs from your average tour
group). This is a favorite site for finding Pooks Pebbles.
|
|
|
Bob and Michael get ready for Business
|
|
Paul, Joe, Sandy and Adriana in the dump.
|
|
|
At lunch time, we find a more scenic place to stop. Here Tim
explores the area surrounding the small bridge that we cross
just before our picnic site, with Jan and Joel on the bridge
in the background.
|
|
Francisco, Adriana, Roger, Al, Sandy and Kevin on the bridge.
|
|
|
During lunch we have our first real occasion to consider
breaking out raincoats. But it takes more than a rain
storm to distract Al from his work.
|
|
Joel and Alejandra chat after lunch.
|
|
|
While Bruce contemplates a Pine Rock Ridge
sign warning that this is the
Last Cold Beer on the road to Carocol
.
|
|
On the way to our next site, we stop at the Five Sisters
museum and shop for those that wish to stock up on suveneirs and
gifts.
|
|
|
Sandy emerges from the entrance, with Tim and Joe still
chatting outside.
|
|
Then back to work. Sandy, Adriana, Juan Carlos and Paul at
another roadside stop near Pooks Hill.
