Here's one for you fellers(just in case you're unaware)...the Chesapeake Bay was formed by a large meteor strike(I think one of the largest we're aware of).

Lot's of interesting glacial features in the NE though...morraines, glacial erratics, all kinds of groovy sh!t.

That's cool stuff... I took a geomorphology course at the University of Michigan, and I think that was my favorite course I've ever taken. Gives you a whole new perspective on the environment around you, wherever you go.

I'll be down in the OBX over spring break, too. Still gotta wear a lot of rubber, but I've never been skunked.

thanks - pretty sure i picked up that tidbit at the space museum/wallops island (you know, on the entrance to
chincoteague). the info stuck w/me cause i was always curious how the islands of the outer banks could
stand and face the fierce north atlantic when the rest of those on the east coast kind-of shied away from it..

Even though they are moving inland, they are pretty much held together because that's the spot where the Gulf Stream and the Labrador currents intercept... This is also why the water temps can change 10 degrees in one day.

Amen to that man, it's great, with just a little background knowledge you can walk around and be amazed pretty much anywhere you go. I need to get my arse down to the OBX.
