We invite all teachers, professors, students, and friends of
the earth and geological sciences to attend the 2015 Fall Conference of the Far
West Section of the NAGT on October 16 – 18, 2015 based in Bakersfield,
California. Check the conference website www.csub.edu/~dbaron/NAGT2015.htm

Southern San
Joaquin Valley of California
Join us to explore a region that offers interesting geology,
a World-class fossil location, and provides employment to many geoscientists. The
Field Conference will be based at the California
State University, Bakersfield and the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History
in downtown Bakersfield. The best place to camp in the area is the Kern River Campground
near Lake Ming east of Bakersfield. Sites cannot be reserved but should be
available on Fridays in October. Alternatives a little farther afield are several
campgrounds along the Kern River in the Kern Canyon. Bakersfield has many
hotels in all price ranges. Homewood Suites are located within walking distance
of the campus; the historic and recently renovated Padre Hotel is a good (but
somewhat expensive) choice with great ambiance downtown within walking distance
of the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History.
We hope to see you in
Bakersfield!
