One reason I appreciate LaGuardia Airport

 I sit at a window seat on the left side of each flight between Indianapolis (IND) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) whenever I can.   

The view allows me to follow along I-70 until about Dayton, Ohio so I can see the glacial landscape looking northward (easy to see when the sun is behind me).  Then from eastern Ohio it's easy to recognize the eastern edge of the Appalachian Plateau Province. Spot Pittsburgh and eventually fly over the Allegany Mountains.  

But the descent into New York City is my favorite part of the flight.  The landing pattern is generally the same each time I fly this route, flying along the eastern edge of the Hudson River watching the shipping docks pass, and then seeing Manhattan up close and personal, finishing with the large circular path back around to LaGuardia Airport landing on Runway 22 (224 degrees N).  I still don't understand how it's named Runway 22 when they're only 2 runways at LaGuardia.  :-)

PLUS, ONE OF MY FAVORITE BREWERIES ANYWHERE!

(Thank you, Manny!)

East Coast GeoServices, LLC and Nelson + Pope, LLP Expertise

Mastery of soil, geology, and the subsurface of Long Island, New York came shining through in July during the classroom intensive, TAKING THE MYSTERY OUT OF THE SUBSURFACE.  

The team from East Coast GeoServices, LLC and their collaborative business partner, Nelson + Pope, LLP exhibited not only their technical mastery, but their positive corporate culture making the training a fun and fruitful experience.

Among my favorite moments of the training was the discussion about local geology of Long Island.  Staff were exceptionally aware of the subtle variabilities of landforms and subsurface conditions along with the drilling and sampling conditions of the areas.   It was a learning experience for me since my limited experience with sampling on Long Island is only in the middle of the island.  

Thank you to the entire team who participated that day.   Thank you too for your generous lunch and especially for the welcome to their "ice cream afternoon extravaganza".  Five stars!
