For "Team Building", the ExxonMobil Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Team went to San Diego to look at rocks along the beaches (fieldwork sure is tough these days).
Unfortunately, this trip coincided with the fires of last year that evacuated a bunch of people. I like this shot showing the smoke from fires on one side and how "clear" (note smog on horizon) it should have been without the smoke. Stupid fires ruined my weekend, though. I was supposed to go to the BYU-SDSU game that saturday, but they cancelled the game. Instead, I was forced to spend a day at the beach pretending to surf. It was fun, really, but I would have rather seen the game (by the way, they didn't refund my tickets).
Here's picture of the smoke from my hotel room in La Jolla.
This is why we were here. If you click on the picture to see it bigger, you might notice the HUGE channel of sand (buff-colored) encased in shaly rocks (greenish-grayish-tan-colored). This is precisely what an oil company targets underground.
True to the free style of Californians. Anyone wanna guess what that small cove back there is used for?

Dave, why do oil companies drill for oil when all you have to do is cut the mountain in half and excavate from the side? ...your industry is weird.
Also, obvisouly that cave is the entrance to the secret M.A.S.K Organization and Boulder Hill base! (duh)
Maybe that cave is where the Gadianton Robbers hid their loot! Too bad about the fires. Lots of damage I hear.
I love that first picture! Did you take that?
Ah, California. I miss it. Those are some great pictures. La Jolla is so nice, best place for the Temple. I would love to know how you pretended to surf?
I am thinking that there is a clue carved on the rock before the entrance to the cove? Leave it to a Californian to be so brazen.
it's the nude beach, isn't it?
