Sabbatical

Dr. Berg is on sabbatical!  He has several projects going so pay attention to this blog.
Pod casts?

VCON Field Trip Rides

I just realized that if I post rider information on Moodle, you can only see one class.  I will hand out sign-up sheets in class and post them by my office door.  I will walk you all through it in class Friday.
