The best teachers and doctors are people who never stop learning and asking questions.

Every Saturday morning I grab my mug of coffee, sit in my recliner and seek to find Nick Z talking about the geology of a state(s) I don't live in. THAT is a testament towards his teachings and ongoing discoveries. It's just relaxing; like watching the old, "Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt".

There is a cool new free Geology App developed by a Professor at UW Madison called Rockd. It combines GPS with Geologic mapping as well as rock descriptions and ages. I think it could be very useful. Thanks Nick for your videos I wish could turn back time 30 years but better late than never to discover something I'm this interested in. Your a huge part of that. Thanks again.. Jeff Eau Claire WI.

So looking forward to the Baja BC later this Fall. Thanks for doing what you do Nick.

Some of your videos, including portions of this one, are Chamber of Commerce-worthy ads for your area. What a gorgeous place. Thank you for the videos and for teaching me about geology.

Always a good day when I see Nick's smiling face in my YouTube feed. :)

Nick, I really enjoy your field trips. I was a geology major in college, and while I didn’t end up pursuing a career in geology, I still like to learn!

I'm starting my master's of geology in less than a month and it is truly inspiring to see ideas that are a work in progress. It helps me realize that my master's can't and won't be solved by me before I start. It too will be a work in progress. Thank you for the reminder and the great content!

Haven't watched your videos since I got out for summer break for the school I work at. Driving back from a trip to the Red Woods I started catching up on your podcasts and now all the videos you put out this summer. Man I missed these. Something about learning from your Geology content gets me back in the mood for returning to work this upcoming school year. Your energy for learning & teaching is so infectious. 💪

Hi Nick, I love that you include us in your learning process! It is great to see how you approach learning and exploring new thoughts and ideas. I don't know if your thinking out loud helps anybody else, but it does help me to start thinking in a different way! Also, the places today were just beautiful and as always thanks for sharing with us!

That was not a fire pit. It was a geologist trap!

Awh! I wish I was there sniffing and seeing. Came through there last April. Thanks, it is very satisfying. I am learning about everything a little at a time. Now I'll know more about what I passed through because of your work Nick.

Baja here we come, er rather here it comes. Thanks Nick.

Why I wake up (here in England) and get excited when I see you have posted another video, I do not know? But I do! I am never disappointed. Thank you.

Finally finished it. We have a lot of schist here, in Vermont and I find it so hard to crack open - we have much more weathering here than is seems you have in WA. Anyway, next time I go out with my hammer, I won't give up after only a whack or too. One of those hand specimens you showed us looks like a beautiful pressure shadow to me. Many thanks for these films, again. and looking forward to November!

Thanks, again, Nick, for another fun geohike! Looking through the comments seems someone has found the Mexican Gabbro! Appreciate you busting open a few rocks to let us enjoy all that sparkle, too! I don't know about other viewers, but the color, sparkle, and presence of fun minerals helps me remember 😉 rock types!
