Once upon a time (before George Deukmajian crapped on the California Junior Colleges), you could take an AA in mining and geology at AVJC. If you did take it, you would have learned how to do stratigraphic mapping at Rainbow Basin as part of the curriculum.
And not just for the fossils, but for an understanding of the geologic and geomorphic processes that created that pocket-sized wonderland.
Granted, you did need to have an understanding of the local flora and fauna, other wise you might walk up to without recognizing the Mojave Green rattlesnakes that abound in the area. Nasty buggers, with a very nasty attitude. If you stopped in front of them on the road, they would sit there coiled up; if you got out of the vehicle, being pit vipers they would follow your heat signature. And then they would head straight for you with murderous intent.
I loved that weekend at Rainbow Basin, and only had to dodge the Mojave Greens twice. And I left them and their progeny for the rest of you.
It is nice to see reports around Barstow, the hi desert is really a great place to be.
There is alot to know or simply to injoy
