Fun at the state line

Primm Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

During my first year at UCLA I took a geology course that dealt with how the various national parks were formed. It was field-trip intensive, meaning we went all over the Western US to revel at...rocks.

Fun at the state line

We arrived at the state line just after dark.  Our class stayed at Whiskey Pete's for the night, and although none of us were 21, we made an attempt to take advantage of the fun to be had at Stateline anyway.  A $5 prime rib dinner was one of the highlights...as was the ability to smoke indoors, for some of my classmates.  We're far too sheltered in California.

My roommate Lindsay and I were sharing a room with two of our guy friends in the class, who discovered the wonders of the free porn channel on our TV after dinner.  Lindsay and I decided against joining them and instead took the monorail over the highway and across the street to Buffalo Bill's, to ride the roller coasters.

Fossil-hunting trip to Western Nevada

Themes for the weekend:
  1. Find a hill and climb it.
  2. Don't tell UCLA administration about anything that your professors and TA's did while on this trip.
We left LA at about 2.30 in the afternoon and headed east for a fun-filled weekend of fossil-hunting, sand dunes, and learning about geology.
