"Here are a few things to do on a highway trip: Play 20 Questions,
plug your kids into some sort of electronic anodyne, lose your
mind. Here's another idea: Look for gneisses and amphibolites; seek
out scarps, klippes and fault slices. Head for the Silurian
boundary. Instead of feeling miserable and confined, feel the bones
of the earth as you ride past the exposed evidence of the planet's
history. . . . That's roadside geology, road food for the mind and
eye."
"With Roadside Geology [of Virginia] in your glove compartment, the
dullest drive can be transformed into time travel."
