A geology roadcast
What is Watch For Rocks?
Tired of swerving into traffic when you pull out your Roadside Geology books? We're here to help! Watch For Rocks is a roadside geology podcast, a kind of earth science audio tour for the US highway system. Choose episodes from the stretch of road you will be traveling, download them to your mp3 player, and listen while you drive. Now you can drive safely and Watch For Rocks!
(See below for more detailed instructions.)

How to use Watch For Rocks
Unlike other podcasts, we will be adding episodes on a regular schedule over space, not time. Each new episode will come at intervals along a highway. The title will let you know what particular traverse it corresponds with, i.e. where you should be when you listen to the episode. For example, the title...
I80#3WYRawlins-GreenRiver
(road)(episode #)(state)(traverse or locality name)
...lets you know that this episode corresponds to the stretch of Interstate 80 in Wyoming, between the towns of Rawlins and Rocksprings.
The episode number allows your mp3 player to sort the episodes in the direction you will be traveling. For example, you can play them as you drive west...
I80#1NE/WYOgallala-Cheyenne
I80#2WYCheyenne-Rawlins
I80#3WYRawlins-GreenRiver
or east...
I80#3WYRawlins-GreenRiver
I80#2WYCheyenne-Rawlins
I80#1NE/WYOgallala-Cheyenne
Watch For Rocks can be customized to your trip. (As long as you're traveling where we have made a traverse!)
