Planetary Society Expedition to Belize
Monday/Tuesday - Last days at Pooks Hill
|
On Thursday we head back out into the field, and find
another type of scorpion.
|
|
Roger, Paul and I accompany Adriana on a quest for pooks pebbles
(smooth, striated products of ballistic flow), which we found
at a spot which, thanks to a recent rain fall and a misjudging
of our vehicles capabilities, came to be known as 'slippery road'.

|
While the rest of the group have an enjoyable day at the
dump.
|
|
On our way back from the field, we stop to see the Cahal Pech
(Tick City) Mayan Ruins. There is a centre housing a large collection
of artefacts found at the site, plus human remains.
