Starting Fresh with Yukon Cornelius

I have failed to maintain my first (and certainly most prolific) blog DeLaWho? DeLaWhat? DeLaWhere?. Created about 4 years ago for a communications class at Denison University, I have had troubles maintaining a constant blogging presence. In the search of new colors and blog title, I have decided to give blogging a fresh start. However, the content of this blog will not veer too sharply from the content of my former blog. Hence, Yukon Cornelius' The Peppermint Mine. I have continued my westward migration from Wilmington, Delaware out to Missoula, Montana. I am currently attending the University of Montana for graduate studies in the geosciences. There it is. The intro. Let the posting begin.
