          This photo gallery highlights various locations that were visited during Western Michigan University's May 2001 Regional Geography field course to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.  The field course was taught by my friend Stephen Podewell.  Over 60 locations were visited during the 15-day journey to and from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.  I went along as an assistant.  I was a graduate student at the time.

          We left on May 6, 2001 at 9:00 a.m. and returned on May 20, 2001 at 10:30 p.m.  Several of these pages include pictures of the students who went on the trip.  The participants included: Julie Dunn, Jessica Engel, Stacy Gabrich, Lindsay Gwyther, Matthew Hill, Erin Hutchinson, Josh Koets, Douglas Lake, Jr., Cheryl LeFaive, Stephen Podewell (instructor), Jill McDonald, Robert Ruhf (assistant), Scott Sandusky, Jennifer Sikorski, Amber Wilde, Mary Worthy, and Tom Wrobel (assistant).
