Lair of the Dragon

According to folklore, when a dragon stirs in its subterranean lair, the earth quakes; when it breathes fire from below, volcanoes erupt. Join science teachers Tim Newman, Annie Prutzman, and Tom Tyler for a special evening "field trip" to Round Top, an old volcano in the Oakland/Berkeley hills that straddles the Wildcat Fault. Our leisurely, two-mile sunset walk will take us back in time, as we learn about the geology, history, and ecology of this unusual nature preserve. With the moon rising, we will descend into the heart of the dragon's lair - an abandoned quarry cut deep into this extraordinary volcanic terrain. We'll linger there to savor the quiet and explore the curious rock labyrinth within. Stars and moonlight will guide us on our return walk.
Date: Thursday, May 19, 2005 6:30-9:30pm

Donors: Bishop O'Dowd Teachers Newman, Prutzman, and Tyler
