This trip was to the area Hilde discussed in her January 13, 2004, PGS lecture: "When Tube Worms Ruled the Great Valley: Ancient Cold Seep Deposits and Chemosynthetic Communities in the Panoche and Tumey Hills, NW San Joaquin Valley".

This is a photo essay of the field trip with pictures by Jeremy Platt.
