"Here are a few things to do on a highway trip: Play 20 Questions,
plug your kids into some sort of electronic anodyne, lose your
mind. Here's another idea: Look for gneisses and amphibolites; seek
out scarps, klippes and fault slices. Head for the Silurian

of the earth as you ride past the exposed evidence of the planet's
history. . . . That's roadside geology, road food for the mind and
eye."
